Overview

Many clinical health professionals
are involved in teaching and
supervising undergraduate and
postgraduate students and
increased recruitment to the NHS
produces even greater demands
for teachers. There is a need
for greater professionalism and
accountability as clinical teachers
and this course is designed to
meet this need by providing a
sound theoretical and practical
basis for good teaching practice.
It complements the established
Teaching and Learning in Higher
Education Programme at Keele by
emphasising small group teaching
in clinical settings and education
for clinical competence.
