Activity 10:
Think about these questions, especially about how you have developed as a teacher so far and how you can maintain your teaching skills:
- What roles do you have? (What teaching activities do you do?)
- What skills do you need?
- How have you developed your teaching skills?
- How do you maintain your teaching skills?
- If you are a clinical teaching fellow, see the CTF Network page.
There is a strategy for planning when faculty should undertake a minimum of training:
At the start of a WMS teaching role we expect you to:
- Attend the relevant induction
- Provide evidence of training relevant to teaching activities undertaken
- Complete NHS/Trust equality and diversity training
- Look out for the Working and Teaching with Active Racial Awareness programme that will be rolled out during 2020/21
On an on-going basis we expect you to attend:
- CPD for teaching
- Equality and diversity training updates
We run updates and teaching on specific topics of relevance to all WMS faculty - find details here.Link opens in a new window
