Personal Chair
Overview
I am a Professor of Medical Education and I teach the subject of Pharmacology to our undergraduates on the Medicine (MBBCh) degree programme.
Understanding how drugs work is a vital component of training doctors to become safe prescribers.
To help our students learn about the drugs that can be used across all medical specialities covered in the course, I use a range of teaching techniques that help explain the effects of drugs. This involves contextualising the use of medications that target a specific system (or tissue) within the Human body; so I create immersive teaching materials that cover everything from cardiology to immunology to psychiatry... and everything in between!
I have won a number of awards for my innovative approaches to teaching, and I have a particular interest in creating interactive, animated and visually stimulating e-Learning Resources that Medical Students can use to enhance their knowledge of a particular subject area.
Some examples of the types of learning & teaching resources I create may be viewed by clicking on any of the links below:
Example 2 (Cardiac Conduction)
Example 4 (Basic Microbiology)
I am a Senior Fellow of Advance Higher Education.
I am also the Deputy Director of 'HIVE' (the School of Medicine's Digital Education & Innovation Hub)
