Teaching and Learning in Clinical Settings

"'A gem of a book. Excellent...abounds in realistic recognisable scenarios that help the reader visualise the situation described, empathise with the participants, and reflect on the lessons contained within it. All is written in a lucid prose devoid of educational jargon.' Professor Elisabeth Paice, in her Foreword 'This book explores issues from a practical standpoint illustrated with many examples. The reader is also offered the theoretical basis for planning and delivering clinical teaching in a way that enables the teacher to use opportunities, maximise chances and to develop an environment where effective learning coexists with the pressures and other priorities of busy clinical care.' Dame Lesley Southgate, in her Foreword"
