Medical Education

The Medical Education department is based at Southport and is situated within the Clinical Education Centre. The Medical Education team oversee and coordinate delivery of all programmes of medical education provided by the Trust, working in partnership with Health Education England (NW), University of Liverpool, Edge Hill University and the GMC.
Our service portfolio includes supporting placements for student doctors, student physician associates, doctors in training and our Trust employed doctors. You will find all of our teaching programmes, including core and specialty, by following the links on the Learning Map.

You will also discover a broad range of additional opportunities for learning which will add value to your experience and enhance your portfolio, from experiential learning opportunities across the Trust to externally commissioned courses and regional programmes of teaching, to conferences & events.
The Medical Education team also support Trust-wide, non-medical clinical training activity through MDT programmes of training and our broad programme of simulation training.
As you navigate your way through the Learning Map, you will be introduced to members of the team assigned to each cohort of responsibility. You will also find QR codes inviting you to access further resources and to provide feedback on your experience of sessions undertaken. - Dawn Aspinall, Head of Medical Education

Dr. Holden

Welcome from our DME
I am Ann Holden, the Director of Medical Education here in the Trust. In addition, I am a Consultant in Critical Care and Anaesthetics, so am very much involved in the delivery of clinical medicine. My colleagues and I hope that you find your time at the Trust, an enjoyable and productive one. Please let us know if you need anything to help and support your learning whilst you are here. My motto is be kind to your patients, be kind to your colleagues, but most of all, be kind to yourself. Self-care is not selfish, it is crucial so you can flourish in your career in medicine, wherever that takes you…

What Our Library Users Are Saying...

"Apprentices now have greater access to resources, not only at College or University but in the workplace. The benefits are not solely logistical; the resources and services available to them via the Library & Knowledge Service are current, relevant and varied."

"The library provided me with the evidence base to support a service development of developing a early discharge detox policy. This has improved patient clinical outcomes. This also reduces length of stay and re-attendance at A&E."

"Literature searches carried out by the library staff assisted in the development of a new education program for unregistered staff in response to the Francis report."

"The library carried out a literature search and provided my team with a wealth of relevant information from a variety of different sources that we were able to use within our poster presentation."

"The information I receive has a positive impact in my role as a Non-Executive Director. Over the past year in post I have found the library alerting service to be an invaluable resource it is a great way to be kept informed via the on-line platform that I can access at times to suit."
