In this unit, students will explore common clinical conditions in which the primary problem is complicated by the co-existence of other pathologies, involvement of other physiological systems or where environmental, psychological or socio-economic factors are of primary significance. Students will examine management and interventions for conditions such as whiplash, amputation, diabetes, facial nerve disorders, burns, preganancy and post birth and a range of multisystem problems. Students will also consider the impact of mental health problems on patient responses and will investigate other complex clinical cases involving health, psycho-social and socio-economic factors, particularly in older people. The unit will provide the student with an understanding of the roles of other health workers in the multidiscilpinary management of patients and of the legislation and social services relevant to the care of people within the community and in rural and remote areas.
