Dr Huw Rees
Teaching Fellow
in Educational
Development

“Our range of workshops is designed to integrate
with the faculties’ training provision and to
support staff as they develop their teaching roles
at Imperial and to facilitate recognition through
HEA Fellowship where appropriate.”

Perspectives in Education (an occasional lecture
series that invites a range of speakers to give their
views on current events in higher education) and
supporting those interested in education through
groups such as the Medical Education Special Interest
Group (MESIG) and Educational Doctorate EDU
Network (EDEN), the latter of which offers informal
peer support for staff currently taking, or thinking
about taking, a Doctorate in Education.

With support from the Faculty of Medicine, and
Faculty of Medicine-focused staff, the EDU is able to
offer a workshop strand tailored specifically to those
Imperial and NHS staff who teach undergraduate
medical students. In addition to a range of medicine-
orientated workshops, a by-request facility is offered.
This makes it possible to run additional workshops
locally at the request of a particular hospital, trust,
division or campus. In addition to working within the
College, the EDU sometimes provides consultancy
training and support to other institutions.

EDU staff also have their own research and scholarly
interests in various aspects of education. Information
about the expertise and interests of EDU staff and the
activities of the EDU are available on our website:
