This module aims to provide the foundation to understanding the basis of therapeutic intervention.

Using a systems approach, the students will learn key aspects of therapies related to medical specialties, surgery, oncology, and other therapies. The benefit and risk of therapeutic intervention and safe prescribing will be explored. Clarity in risk assessment, prescribing, and documentation will be emphasised. Use of guidance, including British National Formulary (BNF) in prescribing and familiarity with prescription medicines. Horizontal and vertical integration will be achieved by using a systems approach as well as adopting a spiral curriculum to optimise the reflective, learning environment and cross-referencing from the other modules.

This module will introduce the important areas of therapeutics in a wide range of specialties using a systems approach as applied in the teaching of basic medical sciences.

The module will cover interventions for conditions listed in the PA curriculum. Prescribing practice will be included, together with discussion regarding the role of the PA in prescribing under supervision. The learning of therapeutics and pharmacology will be integrated with other related modules to facilitate understanding of the indications for interventions, risks, complications and benefit, and will emphasise the importance of multi-disciplinary approach to working and patient care.
