The course is set in a healthcare context throughout. It shows clearly how grammar is used in practical healthcare situations when talking to patients and professionals.

The language is presented through a variety of topics, from common diseases and treatments, to technology in healthcare, to mental health, to Covid-19.

Students take the course on a cutting-edge learning platform. Content includes videos, interactive recording tasks, over 30 downloadable PDFs and many different types of practice activities.
