Teaching and Learning in Higher Education Ed
Teaching and Learning in Higher Education Teaching ‘… an admirable testament to UCL’s ambition to foster innovative, evidence-based and thoughtful approaches to teaching and learning. There is much to learn from here.’— Professor Karen O’Brien, Head of the Humanities Division, University of Oxford ‘Research and teaching’ is a typical response to the question, ‘What are universities for?’ For most people, one comes to mind more quickly than the other. Most undergraduate students will think of teaching, while PhD students will think of research. University staff will have similarly varied reactions depending on their roles. Emphasis on one or the other has also changed over time according to governmental incentives and pressure. Davies and Norbert Pachler ed. Jason P. For some decades, higher education has been bringing the two closer together, to the point of them overlapping, by treating students as partners and nding ways of having them learn through undertaking research. Drawing on a range of examples from across the disciplines, this collection demonstrates how one research-rich university, University College London (UCL), has set up initiatives to raise the pro le of teaching and give it parity with research. It explains what staff and students have done to create an environment in which students can learn by discovery, through research- based education. ‘… an exemplary text of its kind, offering much to dwell on to all interested in advancing university education.’— Ronald Barnett, Emeritus Professor of Higher Education, University College London Institute of Education Dr Jason P. Davies is a Senior Teaching Fellow at the UCL Arena Centre. -

Institute of Healthcare Engineering
INSTITUTE OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING IHE ANNUAL REPORT 2018-2019 Transforming lives through Transforming lives through digital digital & medical technologies & medical technologies IHE Annual Report 3 INNOVATE. Welcome to our annual report for 2018-2019! COLLABORATE. Over the past year, UCL’s healthcare engineers have made advances that push at the forefront of what is possible in our field. These advances have spanned foundational engineering that lays the groundwork for the next generation of healthcare technologies, through to realising patient impact in a staggeringly diverse range of areas. This report conveys a snapshot of this activity by TRANSLATE. celebrating some of the year’s highlights and successes. We also look back at various initiatives that we have led and developed through the Institute of Healthcare Engineering (IHE). We have strengthened and grown our partnerships across UCL and the UCL Partner hospitals, as well as developed new international partnerships, for example around affordable healthcare technologies. We have broadened our focus, and are working to embed students, researchers and staff of all career stages in the IHE. To this end, we have run over 40 events ranging from our IHE Annual Research Symposium, colloquia and research dissemination events, early-career training and engagement, and 13 IHE Workshop Awards to stimulate interdisciplinary research activity. This interdisciplinarity is at our core and our community spans across multiple UCL Faculties and disciplines. Our heart has sat in the Faculty of Engineering since the Institute’s inception in 2012, but our remit continues to broaden and grow. In March this year, we merged with the former Institute of Digital Health (IDH) to unite our focus on transforming lives through digital and medical technologies, and draw together the existing synergies between these communities. -
Academic Health Science Network Prospectus and Business Plan
Academic Health Science Network Prospectus 30th September 2012 Foreword The primary purpose of Academic Health Science Networks (AHSNs), as proposed in the Department of Health’s paper on Innovation Health and Wealth (December 2011), is to deliver proven innovation into practice at scale, both to improve patient and population health outcomes, and to create wealth. UCLPartners is delighted to take up the challenge. This prospectus sets out our vision and plan for creating an AHSN that will mobilise the innovation of some of the world’s leading clinicians and academics, in collaboration, across an extensive range of partners, to achieve measurable health gain and economic benefit – both for our six million-strong local population, and across the UK. In the three years since UCLPartners was founded, we have already made great strides in strengthening collaboration between patients, the NHS, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and industry, to overcome the common barriers to diffusion and implementation of healthcare innovation. Our bid to become an AHSN, which will significantly broaden our network of collaborators and scope for impact, is the next stage in our evolution. Indeed, as Charles Darwin said: “In the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed.” This prospectus shows how UCLPartners AHSN will harness such collaborations to drive a whole system approach to health improvement, including the wider determinants of health, and thereby create resilience to address future financial and clinical challenges. Additionally it shows how we will enable our members and partners to systematically implement best practice, as defined in NICE guidelines, the NHS Outcomes Framework, or already established elsewhere in the network, the UK or internationally. -
