understand the epidemiology, aetiology and morphology of normal tissues and the specified diseases;
evaluate how pathology contributes to the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of disease;
evaluate the sensitivity, specificity and limitations of pathological techniques applied in the diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of disease; and
understand the key principles in the cellular pathology reporting of disease.
How are the modules structured? Ten, three-hour sessions comprising lectures, discussions and seminars/workshops. Topics include:
Cellular Pathology 1 Principles of cellular pathology (to include a workshop for assessment of a new reagent or technique)
Pathology, diagnosis and treatment of Hepatobiliary disease
Pathology, diagnosis and treatment of the bladder, prostate and the male reproductive organ disease
Pathology, diagnosis and treatment of endocrine disease
The pathology and diagnosis of leukaemia The pathology and diagnosis of lymphoma and myeloma
Therapeutics of leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma
Infectious diseases caused by non-culturable organisms
Pathology, diagnosis and treatment of specialised tissues
Case study presentation
Cellular Pathology 2 Principles of cellular pathology (to include: resin, EM, immunofluorescence etc)
Principles of inflammation, fibrosis and wound healing
Principles of hyper/hypoplasia, metaplasia, dysplasia, neoplasia and metastasis
Pathology, diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal disease
22 | Health Prospectus 2013
Pathology, diagnosis and treatment of skin disease
Pathology, diagnosis and treatment of respiratory disease
Pathology, diagnosis and treatment of breast disease
Pathology, diagnosis and treatment of gynaecological disease
Pathology, diagnosis and treatment of renal disease
Poster presentation of a case study
Note: Cellular Pathology 1 and Cellular Pathology 2 may be taken in either order. Immunity in Health and Disease is a pre-requisite for Cellular Pathology 1.
How will I be assessed? This module is assessed by means of coursework (weighted 50 per cent) and a written examination (weighted 50 per cent), which takes place in May or June.
Is there funding available? This module is included in our University’s CPD portfolio. Funding might be available from your employer and the NHS East of England.
What career opportunities are there? All practising biomedical scientists must be registered with the Health Professions Council (HPC). As a condition of HPC registration all members of the registered workforce have to provide evidence that they participate in a CPD scheme. Those who obtain a Masters via credit accumulation will have the chance to progress with their careers as such a qualification is a requirement for moving into more senior positions within the NHS.
