CETL4Health NE
The Centre for Excellence in Teaching & Learning for Health North East (CETL4HealthNE) is a Phase 2 project in the Innovative Education theme.
CETL4HealthNE is a consortium comprising the Universities of Durham, Northumbria, Sunderland and Teesside with NHS partner organisations and the University of Newcastle upon Tyne as the lead partner. They design and deliver innovative learning and teaching programmes and develop new ways of sharing best practice in healthcare education across the range of health professions spanning doctors, dentists, nurses, therapists and pharmacists. Their aim is to help future health professionals better meet the needs of a modernised NHS and the growing and changing expectations of its patients.
It is hoped that CETL4HealthNE and HIEC NE will work together and to this end, CETL4HealthNE has successfully contributed to the development of HIEC NE and is a member of its Advisory Board.
