Healthcare Science (Respiratory and Sleep Physiology)

For the award of an honours degree, you, the student, will be able to:

Demonstrate knowledge of the anatomical structure and development of the human body and an understanding of the integrated function and control of the component parts of the major systems, enabling an appreciation of normal human function to be shown.
Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of cell structure and function at the molecular level, enabling an appreciation of the interplay of complex molecular events that help to maintain cell homeostasis.
Demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of disease processes to enable appreciation of the use of pharmacological and interventional treatments against them.
Show competence in the physiological practical techniques employed within physiological sciences, specifically respiratory and sleep physiology, and be able to explain the rationale for the investigation and treatment of disease, modification of the investigations, and interpret test results so that the student is able to effectively contribute to the patient care pathway.
Demonstrate an understanding of the basic principles of physics and signal processing and be able to apply these to the recording, storage and analysis of information in the concept of physiological sciences.
Be aware of the requirements for good professional practice in physiological sciences, including safe and ethical working practices, the importance of good communication in a therapeutic relationship and how research can be used to advance evidence based practice in their chosen specialism.
