01 / A COLLABORATOR’S VIEW
Bespoke programme development
“Andy listened to our needs and worked collaboratively to design a bespoke programme for Advanced Clinical Practitioners…”
02 / AREAS OF WORK
Where I can contribute.
01
Clinical learning environment review and expert advice
I offer reviews of how clinical environments support learning for students, trainees and staff. Drawing on research and learners’ and teams’ perspectives, a review identifies strengths, inconsistencies and priorities for improvement.
02
Educational supervision and staff development
I help leaders strengthen supervision, feedback and staff support for learning. Advice is shaped around your setting; a tailored development programme or training may form part of the response.
03
Workplace culture and collaboration
I offer advice on how people work and learn together: including newcomers, recognising and sharing expertise, and collaborating across professional boundaries. I work with leaders and staff to identify priorities and support changes in everyday practice.
I also offer advice on personal tutoring, academic advising and student support in higher education, drawing on my books and work with educators in the UK and internationally.
03 / HOW I WORK
From insight to a change in practice.
I draw on research and experience in education, programme leadership and consultancy. We interpret the evidence together and agree a response suited to your organisation.
01
Assess the environment
We agree the question and scope. A review can draw on existing feedback and the perspectives of learners, staff and leaders, examining participation, relationships, supervision, access to expertise and culture.
What you receive Findings that make strengths, areas of inconsistency and opportunities for development clear.
02
Interpret and plan together
I bring evidence and expert interpretation to discussions with the people involved. Together, we agree priorities and develop an action plan with those who will put it into practice.
What you receive Agreed priorities and practical next steps for your leaders and teams.
03
Support change in practice
Support can include advice to leaders, facilitated work across teams or educator development. We review progress and adjust the approach where continued support is useful.
What you receive Expert support shaped around the agreed priorities, with opportunities to review progress.
A focused review can stand alone or lead to further advice, educator development or support with change. We agree the scope together.
04 / THE RESEARCH BASIS
Learning happens through participation.
My ongoing research examines how participation, relationships and access to clinical practice shape learning and professional identity. These perspectives also inform my consultancy on newcomers joining teams, learning across professions and workplace culture.
