PGCert in Clinical Education

The Programme

This specialised programme provides a work-related and academically robust route for healthcare professionals engaged in clinical teaching and learning.

According to our philosophy of inter-professional education, you will work with other healthcare professionals to learn how to develop an environment which facilitates learning across and within the multi-professional clinical field. On completion of the course you will have a deeper understanding of the design, delivery, assessment and evaluation of learning and teaching in clinical settings and higher education.

The course draws on expertise from the Faculty of Health, the Postgraduate Medical and Dental Deanery and practitioners from Hospital and Primary Care Trusts, as well as the Lifelong Learning Institute of which all students will become a member when joining the course.

Who is the course for?

The course is open to all healthcare professionals who are involved in education and training as part of their current role, and is structured to allow for the pursuit of a postgraduate qualification around full- or part-time work.

Typical students include pharmacists, doctors, dentists, radiographers and any other allied healthcare professionals involved in teaching or training other clinical staff.

The programme is also particularly valuable for nurses and midwives as it incorporates a recordable teaching qualification on the Nursing and Midwifery Council Register.

Credits from this programme can be carried forward to the MEd in Clinical Education.
