Course Overview

The boundary between herbal medicine and nutrition is not clear-cut. The use of culinary herbs is an accepted part of the day to day culture of eating. Herbal medicines and botanicals are continuing to be a contentious issue in context of European legislation. This module aims to expand on CND531 in relation to drug/nutrient interactions and will consider drug/nutrient/herbal interactions and the clinical applications and safety of a range of standardised extract herbal medicines and botanical based products.

CNS/D 611 Personalised Nutrition Interventions (2016)

Michelle Barrow

This module aims to develop the student’s understanding of personalised and individualised nutrition as an approach to the prevention and management of functional imbalances and chronic disease. Scientific research continues to emerge on the potentially devastating effects of inappropriate nutrition, environmental toxins and lifestyle factors on a wide range of issues relating to human health throughout life. Nutrigenomics also links nutrition to the genetic expression of health and illness. Increasingly scientific discovery unfolds a genetic basis to a range of chronic degenerative disease afflicting the Western world. Students will develop an understanding of complexity in health and explore nutritional intervention strategies to support optimal function and health aging while taking into account social, cultural and ethical factors influencing an individual’s health and wellbeing.

CNS/D 622 Research Project (2016)

Indrani Saha

This module develops from CNS/D 513 Research Methods in providing the opportunity for students to progress from concepts and planning of scientific research including ethical and resourcing issues to the execution of a piece of novel research in the form of an individual project undertaken over the course of the year. Students are expected to produce an account of their project written in the style, format and discipline compatible with published work as found in a peer reviewed scientific journal. Working within an appropriate epistemology, students are welcome to research in areas that are practical or theoretical, experimental or literature based, qualitative or quantitative, objective or phenomenological. Students must seek ethical approval for their project if it involves human participants or human data before commencing their research.
