The course is taught in our multi-million pound Sciences Complex, which features a brand new CPD suite for training health and pharmaceutical professionals, multi-disciplinary science labs and new facilities for proteomics, drug discovery, pharmacy, and health sciences.

The course runs twice a year and is taught alongside the level 6 module ‘Contraceptive Health’.
The course is delivered by our Clinical Sciences lecturers and a specialist in contraceptive and sexual health.
It's taught across five full days over a four-month period at the University. Each day uses a variety of teaching and learning methods including interactive workshops and will focus on a specific topic that you can then consolidate in clinical practice.
Assessment will be a portfolio of practice outcomes and an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) utilising simulated patients in a variety of contraception and sexual health-based consultations.
