Learning outcomes:
Psychiatry: There are ‘core’ introductory lectures, on-Line tutorials with supplementary materials supplied on Hippocrates. Students are loaned an up to date textbook “Psychiatry PRN” which supplies core knowledge and discusses clinical and practical skills and also includes some on-line supplementary material. The clinical attachments are supported by online tutorials. The psychopharmacology lecture on Hippocrates that features Professor David Nutt has been broken down into six sections and provides the foundations for the clinical pharmacology teaching. Students have access to a film that takes them through History taking and the Mental State Examination

There are also classroom based tutorials, electronic learning modules and simulation workshops.
