Title of learning activity: Anatomy class
Diary of Learning activity
Today’ session started smoothly and we changed location. The day is dedicated to the anatomy module and we started the lesson talking about the respiratory system. Angela our tutor went through it very in detail and asked us our knowledge and experiences. It has been great for me to learn other people experiences on head and neck and I also sometimes work oin head and neck wards , so I thought this first part of the morning was beneficial in order for me to apply the knowledge learnt into practice when I work in head and neck wards. I think is great that the classes are interactive because that enable us to learn more about the topic. After the tea break , we did a nice group activities related to the respiratory system. We started the afternoon session and changed topic, we started to talk about circulatory system and the structure of the blood. I think that the best part of this classes is the fact that Angela implements clinical examples and connects the theory to practice. After the lunch Break we spoke about the cardiovascular system and seen in the specific how the heart works and how every body system is connected to one another. I am really enjoying this learning sessions and it is very good to see how everybody participate actively in the class and shares their own experiences.
