Practice Teaching in Healthcare

Practice Teaching in Healthcare

by Mr Neil Gopee (Author)

Synopsis

Practice Teaching in Healthcare is an essential textbook for anyone studying for the Practice Teacher qualification. Encouraging a critical understanding of the knowledge and competence required to fulfil the practice teacher role, the book examines and evaluates the concepts, theories, and frameworks underpinning the necessary skillset.

Structured largely around the Nursing and Midwifery Council's standards for Practice Teachers, the book provides comprehensive coverage of the knowledge and skills required to supervise and assess the learning of qualified healthcare practitioners particularly those on post-qualifying specialist or advanced practice programmes, and therefore includes:

-Managing inter-professional relationships

-Specialist and advanced practice and knowledge

-Assessment and accountability

-Leadership in facilitation of learning and assessment of clinical skills

-Clinical practice development and evidence-based practice, and

- Issues and further developments in learning beyond registration.

With action points, illustrations and case studies, this is an ideal textbook for healthcare professionals who are students on practice teaching courses, and all facilitators of learning beyond initial registration.

Media Reviews
This is an important and timely publication for practice teachers - there is a paucity of information to guide and inform these practitioners - Neil Gopee's book fills this gap, providing an excellent resource for those supporting students in practice. - Sian Maslin-Prothero, Professor of Nursing, University of Keele
Author Bio
Neil Gopee is Lecturer at Coventry University in the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences teaching mainly research and evidence informed practice. For several years until very recently, Neil was Course Director for the mentorship courses at Coventry University, is currently external examiner for mentorship delivered at Manchester University, and is also reviewer for Studies in Higher Education, amongst other academic responsibilities. From the author: I first qualified as a nurse a few decades ago and worked in general surgical nursing for a year before moving on to complete the registered mental health nurse course. Through my nursing career, a combination of clinical experiences in primary care and general intensive care nursing was also supplemented by attendance at numerous professional development short and long courses, including various workshops on writing for publication, and also completing my doctorate in continuing professional education at University of Warwick. My first peer-reviewed article was published in 1991 based on my then nurse tutor role. The 1990s were when nurse education programmes became a part of university provision, which further opened up authoring opportunities, and I negotiated with Alison Poyner, Commissioning Editor at SAGE Publications, to write the Mentoring and Supervision in Healthcare book, the first edition of which was published in 2007. Along the way, I also worked with SAGE Publications to write Leadership and Management in Healthcare (now in its third edition) and Practice Teaching in Healthcare textbooks. I have also had chapters published in edited books and a range of peer-reviewed articles.
