Abstract:
Clinical bedside teaching forms a major part of undergraduate medical education but clinicians rarely have training in teaching or access to educational experts. Outlined is a programme used by a clinician to run a workshop for colleagues and students using collaborative learning. The workshop begins with a reflection on current teaching practice. Having determined priorities in bedside teaching a session is replanned to take account of these. A tutor-led session on dialogue skills is followed by further sessions on planning the teaching of a whole firm. Problems related to assessment are briefly considered to conclude the workshop. Despite limitations such workshops can successfully circumvent the scarcity of educationalists in the clinical setting. The workshop material is offered to other clinicians wishing to run similar workshops for colleagues.
