specialties.

degree programme, which is currently being implemented.
In semester one of 3rd year, approximately 60 students are based in Sunderland and South

Acute Care and Surgery (MACS) Module. For the remainder of the third year the students
undertake clinical modules across the Wear Base Unit in child health, reproductive health,
