Mental Health
This integrated module focuses on the application and practice of the knowledge and skills relevant to mental health in clinical practice. It builds on knowledge and skills from years 1 and 2 and focuses on their application to clinical practice in the context of students' Primary Care, Surgery and Medicine placements. In particular, it aims to help students reflect on the importance of the relationship between mental health and health experiences.
Additionally, it will raise awareness of the potential impact of clinical practice on the mental health of students and health care professionals and encourage reflection on how mental health can impact how people practise. The module aims to equip students with the conceptual frameworks and practical skills necessary to be able to manage mental health during clinical practice.
The focus is on “Mental Health”, the ability to function psychologically, as opposed to “Psychiatry” ( the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric conditions explored in the year 4 Psychiatry module). -

Mental Health and Ageing (DL)
The module will provide a critical assessment of evidence relevant to mental health and ageing, with a concentration on dementia, one of the most common and serious disorders in later life. The module will take an international perspective, providing an understanding of prevalence, treatment and policy on mental illness in later life in both the developed and developing world. Students will gain an understanding of the key challenges and debates in diagnosis, treatment and policy on mental illness in later life; be able to distinguish between 'normal' and 'abnormal' ageing from a psychological and cognitive perspective; and apply theoretical approaches, e.g. from Gerontology and Psychology, to issues affecting older people with mental illnesses. -

Metaphysics: The Nature of Reality
Metaphysics is the study of what kinds of things there and what they are like in the most general terms. We have both a common sense picture of the world and a scientific picture of the world, and sometimes these two appear to conflict. Part of the job of metaphysics is to try to adjudicate what, if anything, in our picture of the world needs to be given up. Central questions in metaphysics include:
Objects: Are there nonexistent objects? Can there be distinct identical objects? Can there be distinct objects in exactly the same place at the same time?
Time: How do objects persist through time and change? Do future and past objects exist? Does time flow and at what rate?
Persons: What constitutes our personal identity? Are we animals, souls, or something else? Does identity matter for persons to survive through time and change? -

Methods and Analysis of Global Health Trends and Differentials
The primary objective of this module is to provide an overview of the conceptual, methodological and empirical basis for quantifying levels of population health focusing on low income countries. More specifically, the module covers:
•The conceptual underpinnings for measurement of global health;
•Key approaches and challenges to collecting information on various dimensions of health;
•Characteristics and limitations of frequently used data sources in the computation of health metrics;
•Measurements and interpretation of health inequalities;
•Methods for combining multi-dimensional information into summary measures of overall health-state levels;
•Health systems monitoring frameworks and application of results-chains -
