In this episode, Catherine and Mike meet Andrea Hilton, Reader in Advance Practice in the School of Paramedical PeriOperative and Advanced Practice, who talks about her experience of blended teaching approaches on the Faculty of Health Sciences non-medical prescribing course. 

Andrea’s teaching focus and expertise is with non-medical prescribing. This is where qualified health care professionals undertake an advanced qualification which enable them (nurses, pharmacists and some allied health professionals such as physiotherapists) to prescribe medication. Andrea has been directly involved with this course since 2006. Andrea is enthusiastic about using the virtual learning environment to support a variety of teaching and learning strategies and enable a digital pedagogical approach. She is designing her sessions to be both blended and future proofed if fully online is needed.

Andrea is an active researcher in the field of clinical pharmacy/applied health research with a particular focus on prescribing and dementia. 

“Its’ not ‘one size fits all’! It’s almost like you want to cherry pick techniques and then… that will work, that won’t work! […] Try it, refine it and don’t underestimate time… be open to change and developing your own competence.”
