WHAT ARE BIOSCIENCES AND WHY DO WE NEED TO STUDY THEM? LCSC06 |Bioscience

ANATOMY The study of the structure of an Organism The study of the structure of an Organism Familiarise with the different specialisms and areas in anatomy

LCSC06 |Bioscience PHYSIOLOGY The study of the FUNCTION of a living organism and its parts The study of the FUNCTION of a living organism and its parts Understand the chemical processes occurring in the body

LCSC06 |Bioscience SMALL GROUP ACTIVITY How might a knowledge of medical aspects inform our understanding of person and their communication disorder? Think of someone you have met on your visits on in your personal life, who has had a condition that has affected their communication Consider ICF framework for this person – how has this condition affected him/her across domains of ICF?

Help us to understand how MEDICATION works and impacts on the client’s condition LCSC06 |Bioscience FROM POINT OF VIEW OF COMMUNICATION BIOSCIENCES We study BIOSCIENCES in order to: Understand conditions that our clients present with, from a biological and therefore MEDICAL point of view Understand the underpinning PATHOLOGY and how this impacts on COMMUNICATION Aids our DIAGNOSIS, informs PROGNOSIS

LCSC06 |Bioscience OTHER REASONS FOR STUDYING THE BIOSCIENCES OTHER REASONS FOR STUDYING THE BIOSCIENCES MULTI-PROFESSIONAL TEAMS SLTs work in MULTI-PROFESSIONAL TEAMS and hence with a large number of other health professionals: a shared understanding of the biosciences and medical aspects enhances the qualify of the team work ACCESS TO INFORMATION Easy ACCESS TO INFORMATION means that clients can be very knowledgeable about their own conditions MEDICAL FRAMEWORK SLTs can work within a MEDICAL FRAMEWORK (as opposed to an educational framework)

If you think of a question after the lecture, use the discussion board on LS LCSC06 |Bioscience EXPECTATIONS AND STUDYING AT UNIVERSITY You READ to get a degree The lectures set the scene and the scope, provide framework for this further reading Use the lectures as an opportunity to ask questions

Is set out in the Reading and Resources section on Learning Space It is worthwhile buying at least ONE textbook for each of your modules. Many resources are available on-line and there are Apps available to help with your studies
