For the 2023/24 curriculum, our PGT/CPD modules will continue to be delivered using hybrid learning. This means that depending on the subject and content of learning and teaching, modules will mainly be delivered via a combination of face to face and online delivery (both live and asynchronous), as this has worked really well for our practice-based colleagues. It is important to recognise the majority of modules contain face to face contact time and attendance at the University will be required.

Learning and teaching methods include:

• Lectures
• Discussion
• Workshops
• Work based learning
• Problem based learning
• Simulated learning.

• Case study
• Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE)
• Clinical log

OSCE dates

• October cohort - will be confirmed during the module
• March cohort - will be confirmed during the module

Attendance is mandatory.
