This module comprises the clinical professional skills assessment (CPSA) component of ‘Finals’ along with revision sessions. The CPSA module is aligned to the proposed plans for the MLA, and will be updated as the GMC defined key performance indicators are developed to ensure it is compliant with the GMC medical licensing clinical professional skills assessment. This module is a synoptic assessment module incorporating all previous modules in the programme and together with the other 3 assessment modules constitutes ‘Finals’.

The BM programmes are highly contextualised and integrated programmes in which the application of knowledge and understanding, clinical skills and professional practice applicable to medicine are learned through a range of modules none of which are standalone modules and therefore this module should be recognised by teachers and students alike as part of the whole programme. The CPSA Module in BM final year is studied along with 3 other assessment modules (Applied Knowledge assessment, Workplace based assessment module and Data Interpretation and Summarisation Assessment module), The emphasis of the assessments for each of the modules aligns with the focus of learning for that module, however the integrated nature of the course means that there will undoubtedly be overlap and aspects of the assessment in each module will draw upon learning from modules studied in earlier years as well as modules studied in that year. The final year CPSA module has been purposely designed to assess learning outcomes covered in any of the modules within the programme.

This module comprises the clinical professional skills assessment (CPSA) and supporting revision sessions. The assessment has been developed to ensure compliance with the GMC medical licensing clinical professional skills assessment requirements and has been reviewed by the GMC who have confirmed it is compliant with their requirements. Therefore, passing this assessment means students are deemed to have passed the MLA-CPSA (a GMC requirement for registration). This module is a synoptic assessment module incorporating all previous modules in the programme and is studied together with the other assessment modules.


The BM programmes are highly contextualised and integrated programmes in which the application of knowledge and understanding, clinical skills and professional practice applicable to medicine are learned through a range of modules none of which are standalone modules and therefore this module should be recognised by teachers and students alike as part of the whole programme. The CPSA Module starts in BM year 4 during which it is initially assessed but if a supplementary attempt is required progression to year 5 is permitted and the supplementary attempt is then taken in year 5. However, passing it is a requirement of both graduation and subsequent registration. Students who do not pass it at either the first (year 4) or subsequent supplementary (year 5) attempt are then required to repeat year 5 in order to take an additional attempt.

The module is studied alongside separate applied knowledge assessment (AKT) modules in both years 4 & 5 (the year 5 AKT is the MLA-AKT. In addition, the workplace-based assessment module spans across both years 4 & 5 and requires demonstration of clinical competence in ACCs, a range of prescribed practical procedures, and Intermediate life support. The emphasis of the assessments for each of the modules aligns with the focus of learning for that module, however the integrated nature of the course means that there will undoubtedly be overlap and aspects of the assessment in each module will draw upon learning from modules studied in earlier years as well as modules studied in that year. The CPSA module has therefore been purposely designed to assess learning outcomes covered in any of the modules within the programme.

This module comprises the clinical professional skills assessment (CPSA) component of ‘Finals’ along with revision sessions. The CPSA module is both an internal module on our Medicine programmes and is also the GMC approved MLA-CPSA, we have completed a submission and review process with the GMC and the GMC have approved it as compliant with their medical licensing clinical professional skills assessment requirements. This is an ongoing process embedded within the GMC quality assurance and accreditation processes. This module is a synoptic assessment module incorporating all previous modules in the programme and together with the other 2 assessment modules constitutes ‘Finals’.

The module will provide an introduction to adult psychopathology, to present the psychological and biological models that have been developed to explain a variety of psychological disorders, and to examine both the empirical foundation of these models and the treatments based upon them such as cognitive behavioural therapy.

Each session will focus on a new disorder and will typically discuss: i) diagnosis and classification; ii) epidemiology; iii) theoretical approaches to understanding the aetiology and maintenance of the disorder(s) (with particular reference to psychological models); iv) empirical evaluations of basic processes proposed by theoretical models; and v) theory-driven treatments and their efficacy.

While the majority of the sessions (lectures and tutorials) will be given by the module convenors, there will be guest lectures from clinical psychologists working in the NHS, and experts on particular topics (e.g. anxiety, eating disorders, bipolar) including speakers with lived experience.

Understanding research, the appropriate use of qualitative and quantitative methods and how to interpret results is fundamental to being able to critique an evidence base. The Clinical Research Skills module teaches you how to apply qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods approaches when carrying out research or evaluating a service and to understand them when considering the results reported by others.

Our online module is delivered using a blend of live teaching and pre-recorded sessions. You are expected to attend all live sessions which allows you to engage with our expert teachers and your fellow students and benefit from rich discussions. Practical workshops in our live sessions will allow you to work through data analysis techniques and use specialist software in a supported environment. Our recorded sessions allow you to learn at your convenience within each teaching week. Engaging with our blended learning each teaching week allows you to build on and synthesise your learning as you go.

This module is taught once a year and typically involves approximately 10 hours of student engagement per week. The module will take place during the following weeks:

•Teaching, guided, & self-directed learning: 07/11/25-04/03/26
