Summary
During the module ‘Pain: aetiology, consequences and treatment’ students will be building on previous learning and acquiring knowledge to extend and deepen their understanding of physiological, anatomical, pharmacological molecular and cellular aspects of pain and to gain knowledge and understanding of the mechanistic basis of this neurological condition. This will also enable students to appreciate the clinical relevance of pain to patients and how it is currently managed. This will predominantly be within the setting of a series of lectures, but there is also a requirement for substantial private study to consolidate understanding of the material covered in the lectures.
