The content for these papers was first written in 2003 as part of a project led by the London Deanery to provide a modular web-based learning resource to support the educational development for clinical teachers.
The content has been revised and updated by Judy McKimm in 2007/8 to support the introduction of the Deanery’s e-learning modules, a new web-based learning package for clinical teachers.
Each of the updated papers is a PDF document that provides a summary and background reading on a core topic in clinical education. They can be read as standalone papers or in conjunction with the e-learning modules. Each of the e-learning modules identifies a few papers in ‘Explore around this topic’ that link specifically to the content in that module.
