Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content
The aim of this paper is to introduce the theory required to understand and identify pathophysiological processes and alterations in cognitive, emotional and social processes. Further the paper will explore the impact of findings which guide diagnostic reasoning and therapeutic interventions. Students will learn the essential concepts of pathophysiological processes and altered health states, including the nature and causes of disease, illness, disability and long-term conditions. Clinical scenarios within each module will draw on contemporary research to correlate the anatomical pathology with major clinical symptoms and signs.
