Heidi Bateman receives Helen Tonge funding awards

Congratulations to Heidi Bateman who has received funding from the Helen Tonge award (School of Dental Sciences) to support attendance at 2 research methods training courses (Qualitative Interviewing and Qualitative Data Analysis), and the ASME Annual Scientific Meeting which will be held in July where she’ll be presenting ‘Delivering to ‘that list’: The challenges of working with Learning Outcomes.’

This funding will provide an opportunity to disseminate education research outputs on a national platform. It will also enable skill development in research methodology to permit extension of current research projects and enable future design and implementation.

The Helen Tonge Award is open to all School of Dental Sciences staff involved in research, teaching, or engagement activities.  It is designed to offer financial support to undertake short-term ‘projects’ and activities which support the development of the school’s ethos, and where no other sources of funding are available.  Applications must clearly link to one or more aspects of the Schools ethos statement. Watch out for calls for applications circulated around the School at regular intervals.

Publications Summer 2018

Congratulations to everyone in the Faculty who has published their research this quarter. If anything is missing let us know.

HEA Senior Fellow Status for Dr Fraser Birrell

Congratulations to Fraser Birrell, ICM, who has been awarded Higher Education Academy Senior Fellow Status. An HEA fellowship is an international  recognition of a commitment to professionalism in teaching and learning in higher education and demonstrates alignment of teaching practice with the UK Professional Standards Framework.

Fraser is the Degree Programme Director of the Masters of Clinical Research Programme and responsible for the development with the local Clinical Research Network of the highly successful Introduction to Research Skills course offered by Health Education England North East to all specialist registrars in the region. He is also Academic Lead of Shared Medical Appointments UK, driving spread of group consultation models regionally and nationally with the support of Health Education England North East.

Fraser’s team were recently recognised by the Royal College of Physicians of London at their Excellence in Patient Care Awards, being shortlisted for the Lancet Research Award for work on group consultations in primary & secondary care, co-designed with patients and delivering the same or better outcomes with 200-400% efficiency. If you are a clinician (doctor, nurse or allied health professional) wanting to learn to deliver care in this way and want to attend the national training course on 12th July you can register via  http://www.groupconsultations.com/rheumatologytraining/. 

If you are an academic interested in research in this field contact Fraser.Birrell@ncl.ac.uk directly.
