- Analyse critically and evaluate current practice in order to develop evidence-based and research-led care within their specific area of practice that addresses the physiological, psycho-logical, sociological and cultural needs of the client within the context of multi-disciplinary care teams
- Develop inter-professional learning, team-working and collaboration skills through discussion and reflection on practice with other students/health care workers

How does it enhance practice?
The BMedSci (Hons) Health and Social Care studies (Sexual Health) programme offers the student the choice of a number of relevant units around specialities pertinent to the local area.
