This programme is designed to develop knowledge and skills in teaching, learning and assessment in healthcare settings. The programme demonstrates the synergy between academic theory and professional practice and develops this in students through the supervised practice of teaching in the learners’ workplaces. As students move through the programme, the emphasis shifts from their individual practice as clinical educators to a concern with their wider roles, as change agents and advocates for learning and teaching within a broader context. To support this, there is a critical engagement with evidence-based teaching and learning, and support in developing both the capacity to critique research and to design and conduct small-scale empirical research on issues and topics relevant to clinical education workplace.
A distinctive feature of the programme is the inter-professional and interdisciplinary nature of the programme and programme team draws on expertise from a range of clinical professions and academic disciplines across the social and healthcare sciences and diverse teaching experience in clinical and non-clinical workplaces and tertiary institutions.
The programme will offer learners a part-time, hybrid and/or online learning programme which has been designed with the needs of health care practitioners in mind. The programme includes direct observation of teaching in practice and regular opportunities for peer assessed micro-teaching as part of the PG Certificate, and opportunities for practical research skills sessions and peer review of research practice as part of the diploma and masters modules. The programme offers a high level of support for academic and research skills development which is specifically tailored to practice-based adult learners.
The first year of the programme, the PG Cert Clinical Education is mapped to the Advance HE professional skills framework and its completion meets the requirements for an Advance HE Fellowship.
