Diagrams
•you are encouraged to use appropriate diagrams, and to discuss these in the text of your essay. These must be referred to in the text correctly (Figure number; title).
•Any diagrams taken from the internet a) must be referenced accordingly to avoid accusations of plagiarism; b) cannot attract marks in their own right, as the work is someone else’s. You are therefore advised to make your own diagrams.

references at the end of your work; these should
be arranged alphabetically (first author’s name).

authoritative web sites – not Wikipedia, all references have to be from doctor’s websites/NHS or other. Not public one!!That is very important!!
