The Educator Training Resources (ETR) programme contains elearning sessions for clinical educators and supervisors across the healthcare professions. This multiprofessional resource is applicable to those who are teaching, supervising, and assessing learners in practice.
The elearning sessions cover a wide range of topics and are structured under the 5 courses below:
Supervision of Learners – covers topics including how to work with learners to facilitate their learning, how to assess their needs and set their learning objectives and provide feedback. There are also sessions covering the support provided to learners in relation to their wellbeing, personal and career development.
Teaching Methods – covers different teaching and facilitation methods to employ in practice. Includes sessions around clinical skills teaching, small group teaching, using simulation and involving patients in teaching.
Assessment and Progression – covers sessions including approaches and the principles of assessments along with practical video sessions on using specific assessment tools. This course contains both multiprofessional and profession specific sessions.
The Learning Environment – covers sessions such as how to make the clinical environment safe and conducive to effective learning, the quality assurance of learning environments and ensuring patient safety.
Approaches in Education – covers sessions around different approaches and ideas you may adopt in clinical education, including interprofessional education and the use of elearning. The sessions may also be useful to individuals responsible for the professional development of educators in NHS organisations and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).
