The first five modules are related to body systems, and will include details of common conditions and treatments relative to its function and anatomy. The following modules are devoted to specific elements of clinical practice, and will also refer back to body systems to form an integrated and holistic approach. There will also be activities within some of the modules for revision and clarification purposes – these activities will be formative. A glossary will also be included in the majority of modules to act as a useful reference.
