Teaching
My primary contribution to teaching takes the form of MPhil/PhD/PD supervision.
I am also a module lead on the iBSc in Medical Education.
With a focus on the education and development of health professionals, research interests include
- continuing professional development and impact on practice
- role structures and extended duties
- workplace based learning
- interprofessional education
- knowledge transfer and exchange
Supervision
I welcome doctoral applications from those interested in working on multi-disciplinary topics related to my broad research activity in the education of healthcare professionals.
My particular interest is on the impact of postgraduate and continuing education and training on the work of healthcare practitioners (such as doctors, dentists, pharmacists, optometrists). A related area of research interest is knowledge transfer and mobilisation in healthcare settings.
I currently supervise 14 students (including those studying full-time and part-time, for PhD and professional doctorates)
Past projects
I have supervised 14 students to sucessful doctoral completion.
