Training & Education
provides all foundations necessary to teach medical students and give them the right knowledge and skills sets required. The faculty is even open to the opportunity of designing bespoke courses, tailored around an organisation or team’s individual needs. Sharing and cooperation is often what drives
innovation in the sectors of both healthcare and education, and PU PSMD is actively seeking international collaboration so skills developed at the university can be shared globally. Courses can be delivered remotely, either through blended learning or an e-learning programme.
International students However many students prefer to study in Plymouth, a waterfront city on the south coast of England. It’s a vibrant, attractive area in which to live and study, with a population of around 250,000, including 30,000 students. Local culture is built around shipbuilding and seafaring, with a long tradition of adventure and discovery since the Pilgrim Father’s left England from Plymouth to set up an English colony in the New World – now the USA – in 1620. Today, South West England is known for its exceptional quality of healthcare. Derriford Hospital, the home of Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust, and Torbay Hospital, site of the South Devon Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, are the principal hospital partners of PU PSMD.

EXAMPLES OF MASTERS COURSES AT PU PSMD
l Healthcare Management, Leadership & Innovation: This new course is designed to be a flexible entry into management and leadership in healthcare services, whether your interests lie in leadership, quality improvement, organisation development, patient safety, or in education. l Clinical Education: This programme is an accredited programme that equips doctors, dentists and other healthcare professionals to teach in UK universities. l Simulation and Patient Safety Programme: This course is for all those who are involved in training healthcare providers or developing systems to improve patient safety at an organisational level.
The quality of education and expertise offered
by PU PSMD is available to international students who travel to the UK to study, as well as those who are unable to do so, through a flexible approach to course delivery. For example the master’s degree course is three years part-time, however the dissertation can be produced remotely and digital delivery is also expanding at the diploma stage. ‘Simulation and Patient Safety’ is another
area where PU PSMD excels, and the Masters programme we offer is the first of its kind in the UK. It teaches how to use complex simulation as part of medical training, including surgical simulation, and includes teaching the skills required to debrief and interplay with the team,” says Dr Tom Gale, Programme Lead.
Global perspective In some cases the university and Acute Hospitals can even send a team over to another country, and this is currently happening in Sierra Leone where they have a team working on the Ebola outbreak. Alison adds, “Leadership is particularly important in these circumstances where people are working in difficult and challenging situations.” The students themselves are also encouraged
to develop a global perspective, with Alison noting about half the students are interested in remote or global health. Again this cooperation and worldwide scope encourages and challenges the students, and the diversity of experience it brings ensures a broader area of knowledge in the sector. Another exciting programme that PU PSMD is
participating in, ‘Remote and Global Healthcare’, is taken by a number of doctors and dentists working for the British Antarctic Survey (BAS). Alison explains, “They spend one week at the university commencing the Masters degree, then they go to the Antarctic as BAS staff while completing the degree with the help of memory sticks and technology.” Itself a fantastic illustration of just how flexible and far-reaching PU PSMD’s knowledge, expertise and experience are.
