Have you lost some of the fun from teaching your juniors? Are you uncomfortable with the underlying rigidity of the current requirements? Have you recognized the out-of-date flavour of simplistic educational processes (as encouraged by 'tips for teachers')?

Then come to a day that will reaffirm what it is to be a doctor, remind you of the fun of teaching, reveal the profound nature of real education and show you how to enrich the meagre diet currently on offer. Go home with a number of ideas and a wide range of educational resources that will enable you to begin the cure back in your own clinical setting.

Aims:

By drawing on: Fish and de Cossart (2007) Developing the Wise Doctor , RSM Press, this conference offers the opportunity to experience how to learn, teach and assess some invisible but key aspects of the practice of medicine.

The intentions of this day are:
To engage you in learning about and exploring how to teach and assess three elements of a group of 'Invisibles': professionalism, clinical thinking, professional judgement.

To enable you to help your learners to create portfolio entries that provide sound evidence of their development of these and many other key attributes and capacities of a wise medical practitioner.

To encourage you to explore some more advanced ways of teaching in the clinical setting.

To tempt you to venture further into reflective talking and writing.
