This module covers elements of professional practice in medicine / surgery to ensure that all students possess a fundamental level of skill in clinical practice while developing an understanding of the principles and practice of clinical medicine in the UK context, including the functions of the NHS. Students will develop greater awareness of the multidisciplinary nature of the practice of medicine/surgery in the UK, including the multiple roles of the clinician in practice, audit, quality improvement and research, management, leadership and teaching. This provides a foundation for later clinical placements if applicable so that the learning on such placements can be utilised effectively in the development of audit, quality improvement, clinical research and portfolio creation.
This module covers aspects of research methodology, ethics and other transferable skills to ensure students are introduced to issues in research, such as governance issues and statistical analysis of clinical research. The research project undertaken in this course will give the student real insight into the philosophy of research as well as practical experience in the process of completing a piece of original work. The module will be delivered entirely by e-learning in a longitudinal pattern , as part of a blended learning strategy, so that students can complete their project work alongside their other taught modules. Tutor supervision meetings will be online and all necessary access to materials etc are available to the student in QMPlus and via the relevant online materials (books, journals, papers) in the QMUL library.

In Phase One, you will complete a detailed literature review presented as a mini dissertation.
In Phase Three, you will undertake your dissertation, which forms a major component of your degree. You’ll write a final report of up to 50,000 words on your research project.
You'll be taught through a combination of expert seminars, supervised clinical placements, one-to-one tutorials, self-directed learning, case presentations and reading. In addition to the formal seminar and clinical programme, time is set aside for readings and reviews, discussion and problem solving for student research projects, for innovative practical exercises, clinical audit and for feedback and evaluation of the course itself. Time is spent working alongside hospital trainees.
Your individual study time could be spent preparing for, or following up on, formal study sessions, reading, producing written work, completing projects and dissertations.
The direction of your individual study will be guided by the formal study sessions you attend, along with your reading lists and assignments. You will receive a course reading list at the start of teaching and with each module.
You will be assigned an Academic Adviser who will guide you in both academic and pastoral matters throughout your time at Queen Mary. You will also be assigned two staff members to supervise your research project.
