Biological Sciences. Introduction to the Human Body

Welcome to this Biological Sciences module. This introduction to anatomy and physiology will help you revisit the basic science that underlies all human health and disease. It is one of a series of CPD modules, and will set you up for the modules that go into greater detail about the structures and processes involved in being a human.

The Biological Sciences - Introduction to the Human Body online learning module has clear and concise aims, objectives and anticipated outcomes, listed below. These will appear on the Dentaljuce Enhanced CPD Certificate, along with the time spent, dates, and detailed topics you studied within the module. Certificates can be printed at any time, covering any range of dates. Dentaljuce CPD complies with the UK GDC's requirements for enhanced verifiable continuing professional development.

Regulatory authorities recommend that CPD/CE is undertaken based on learning needs that you have identified and entered into your PDP. Some authorities may not accept your CPD as verifiable unless it has been identified in the PDP before you undertake it.

Before starting this module, check that the learning outcomes are what you require, and that you have entered the need into your PDP. Here is an example PDP entry for this module.
