Addysgu

Teaching is a very important part of my role and one that I value very highly. I currently teach on the MSc Pain Management programme, across the majority of modules. This programme is a well-established and respected interprofessional e-learning course designed for Healthcare Professionals. My role in this programme is facilitating the modules and supporting students with their studies, developing their critical analysis skills  and ultimately enabling them to transition through their MSc studies to become an emerging expert in Pain Management in their own area of practice. Another key role is supervising PGT students’ MSc dissertations on a range of topics related to pain. My teaching roles and scholarship activities are closely related and the interest in education theory directly supports the innovation, design and evaluation of teaching material. This has resulted in scholarly outputs such as:

Day, R. and Heathcote, S. 2019. Postgraduate Student reflective evaluation of a student selected case study analysis of the Biopsychosocial model within an e-Learning MSc in pain management. Presented at: 17th Pain Management Programme SIG National Conference. British Pain Society. Bristol; 12th September 2019.

Within the School of Healthcare Sciences, I am the leader for the postgraduate Musculoskeletal Diagnosis and Treatment module. This module develops clinicals critical thinking skills and provide a space and opportunity to think and explore their own practice. Within the School of Healthcare Sciences, I also support the undergraduate programme with anatomy teaching, which has always been a key foundation stone of Physiotherapy for me. I teach on a wide range of other postgraduate programmes and modules, including the MSc Wound Healing, Non-medical Prescribing, and the Evidencing learning in Specialist Professional Practice module. I am also involved in teaching 3rd year medical students on ‘Living with Persistent Pain’.

Externally to the University I have delivered CPD sessions for large Healthcare organisations aiming to improve the consistency and accuracy of discussion about pain. I have undertaken roles as External Panel member for periodic review of MSc programmes for other Higher Education institutions. I am always happy to receive enquiries about other external opportunities.
