Clinicians Who Teach (Full 2 Day Course)

Formal Teacher Training for Clinicians

Clinicians Who Teach is a structured teacher-training programme designed for doctors and healthcare professionals who teach as part of their clinical role and want high-quality, recognised evidence of their educational development.

The course combines a comprehensive self-paced E-Learning programme with a full-day interactive live workshop, delivered in small groups by experienced clinical educators. Together, these components provide both the theoretical foundation and the practical skills required to teach confidently, effectively, and professionally in healthcare settings.

Note: Access to the full-day E-Learning programme is included free with all live bookings. Delegates are strongly encouraged to complete the E-Learning prior to attending the live workshop to maximise benefit.

• Healthcare professionals seeking structured, CPD-aligned evidence of teaching development for appraisal or revalidation.

No formal teaching qualification is required. The course is designed to be practical, accessible, and directly applicable to everyday clinical teaching.
