2. Medicine in Society

Overview

You will attend a general practice placement, in groups of 6-8, for 12 days on alternate Thursdays throughout the academic year. Each day is themed and has specific learning outcomes. The theme relates to the system you are covering at the time, e.g., day 11 focusing on pregnancy and childbirth is during the human development system teaching. 

 

You will be engaged in many different activities over the course of the placement, including engaging with patients, observing and interviewing clinicians and other health and social care professionals, small group tutorials and discussions and self-directed learning tasks.  


Assessment 

This consists of 2 reflective pieces, a health promotion poster, and a professionalism and attendance assessment.  

You need to submit your work for assessment on QM+ and email it to your GP tutor before the deadline for your group as outlined in the assessment timetable.  

Students who do not pass the assessments will be required to complete a remediation task in order to progress through the course.
