1. “An online programme to help clinical practitioners become effective educators”.

2. Introduction Developed in collaboration with: Lead Advisor
Created for practitioners from diverse healthcare fields and with varying levels of experience, this Teaching and Assessment for Nursing and Allied Health Educators online programme of courses will enhance the quality of clinical education. It will help those with teaching and mentoring responsibilities to become more proficient in adapting and structuring their teaching according to learner preferences and diverse educational settings; in facilitating effective learning both in planned and unplanned situations; in designing appropriate assessments; in delivering and receiving feedback; and in addressing potential challenges.
Throughout, this course encourages participants to review their profession-specific standards and domains, and underlines the fundamental role of service users within clinical education – whilst highlighting the issues of safety and consent. Ultimately, this course will help educators ensure that the practitioners of tomorrow are fit to practise.
