Module code: BIS5013-B
Clinical and Analytical Biochemistry is the division of laboratory medicine that deals with the measurement of chemicals in blood, urine and other body fluids. Test findings are useful for detecting health problems, determining prognosis and guiding patient therapy. This module supports the programme by developing learners’ knowledge and critical understanding of the well-established principles of Biomedical Science (PLO6). It also enables learners to evaluate and discuss the laboratory specialities of clinical biochemistry (PLO7). The aim of this module is to develop an understanding of how biochemical techniques are used in biomedical sciences to screen, diagnose, monitor, treat diseases and develop new therapeutic strategies in the treatment of diseases. Learners will develop presentation and data analysis skills. This module will help those students seeking knowledge to support their employment in medicine and medical research. It emphasises the importance of biochemical analysis of human samples in the diagnosis of health and disease. Download the PDF for BIS5013-B_2024_5.pdf
