Taught Modules

SHC155 Neurosensory Science

This module provides an introduction to aspects of basic science which are important for the neurosensory science student to learn.
SHC156 Neurosensory Clinical Measurement and Treatment

This module introduces the routine diagnostic tests within Neurosensory Sciences. It will explore the patient pathway and importance of patient centered care, evidence based practice and multidisciplinary team working.
SHC200 Applied Neurophysiology and Instrumentation

This module will provide a detailed knowledge of neurophysiological measurement techniques and instrumentation.
SHC227 Evoked Potentials

This module will provide students with the opportunity to understand the electrical potentials produced by the nervous system and their use in determination of nervous system function.
SHC228 Clinical Neurophysiology 1

This module will provide the student with an understanding of the electroencephalogram (EEG) and its measurement in normal situations.
SHC230 Professional Practice 2

This module follows from the year 1 module SHC150 Professional Practice 1 and further develops some topics as well as introducing others. The material is designed to provide support knowledge for the healthcare science student in their professional practice.
SHC232 Instrumentation Signal Processing and Imaging

This is a module for students following Healthcare Science programmes that details the theory and application of physiological measurement and imaging in healthcare.
SHC300 Specialist Neurophysiology

This module aims to provide the student with an overview of nerve conduction studies (NCS), electromyography (EMG), sleep study, polysomnography and the multiple sleep latency test (MSLT).
SHC323 Abnormal EEG and Interpretation

This module aims to provide the student with an in depth understanding of the use of the EEG in determining neurological disease.
SHC325 Neuropathology

This module aims to provide the student with an in depth understanding of neurological pathologies and their treatment.
SHM248 Additional Care for Women with Complex Needs

This module will prepare students to identify and manage the care of women with additional care needs including management of both pre-existing and emergent conditions. The module will explore the evidence base to equip students to use current statistical data to inform their practice. Students will also further develop their understanding that the care needs of women and families may relate to physical, psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual factors.
