Years 1 and 2

learning with patients years 1&2 Course

The Learning with Patients (LwP) course provides early clinical contact for students in Years 1 and 2. Whilst the overall curriculum concentrates on the biomedical sciences during these years, this course gives invaluable opportunity for students to meet patients, talk to them about their medical problems and consider the impact of illness on their lives. It is taught by GP tutors in practice and covers subject areas such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and mental health. There are currently five sessions in Year 1 and four in Year 2. There are also supplementary lectures.
