Clinical Education has become increasingly professionalised recently, and health professionals have become more aware of the need to develop teaching and training skills, based on an understanding of how people learn. Increasing numbers of health professionals are looking for formal opportunities to help that development. The Clinical Education Programme of qualifications provides an opportunity for clinical educators to gain a qualification that will be of practical value to them in their everyday work.
The Programme has been designed to provide its students with opportunities to develop a scholarly approach to clinical education and to acquire the expertise necessary for effective clinical education in the context of their own educational roles, responsibilites and interests.
Due to the popularity of this programme, places fill up quite early in the academic year. Please check with our course secretary for availability.
