  • 2016-17 Department: UCL Medical School Faculty: Medical Sciences CONNECTED CURRICULUM
    UCL QUALITY REVIEW FRAMEWORK - ANNEX 6.1.3: ASER DEVELOPMENT & ENHANCEMENT PLAN Academic Session: 2016-17 Department: UCL Medical School Faculty: Medical Sciences CONNECTED CURRICULUM Last session, Departments were invited to discuss how they intended to begin their preliminary assessment of their taught provision by benchmarking each programme against the grid in the Connected Curriculum Enhancement Guide. Programmes were asked to evaluate and clearly state where the programme or cluster of similar programmes was benchmarked in relation to each dimension of the Connected Curriculum. In this section, Departments are asked to indicate the extent to which their programme(s) reflect each of the six dimensions, to highlight notable examples of good practice, and (in the Development and Enhancement plan below) to list up to six actions that the department/programme team will now take to enhance the programme(s) over the next two to three years. Departments will then be asked to review progress in relation to these actions in the Autumn 2019 ASER. The broad evaluation of the programme(s) as ‘Beginning’, ‘Developing’, ‘Developed’ or ‘Outstanding’ for each dimension will enable the Department/Programme Leader to track progress in relation to all six dimensions over time. It is intended to be a broadly agreed description of current practice in the programme(s) as a whole. General guidance on interpreting these terms is found on p6-7 of the Connected Curriculum online guide: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/teaching-learning/sites/teaching-learning/files/connected_curriculum_brochure_21_june_2017.pdf Departments may also find the ‘Twenty Questions’ on p10 helpful. If you have a large number of UG programmes in your department, a suggested approach is to use this form to provide a departmental summary of your programmes and then to identify those particular programmes which are excelling or which need more development by completing a form with a summary for each programme (or cluster of very similar programmes).

The year before I had listened with excitement to the launch of our local commercial station, Liverpool's Radio City, and wanted to find out what other stations I might be able to pick up. In those days the Guide covered TV as well as radio, which could only manage to fill two pages – but then there were only 19 “ILR” stations.

  • Embedding Physical Activity in the Undergraduate Curriculum
    July 2018 Embedding physical activity in the undergraduate curriculum Commissioned by Public Health England (PHE) and Sport England to embed physical activity in the undergraduate curricula in a sample of medical schools and schools of health in England during 2017 and 2018. This is part of the PHE & Sport England’s Moving Healthcare Professionals Programme Authors on behalf of Exercise Works Ltd Ann B. Gates MRPharmS BPharm (Hons) Ian K. Ritchie FRCSEd Executive Summary July 2018 movement for movement Forewords A final year medical student’s view on the lack of exercise medicine in undergraduate curricula As a medical student about to graduate, I have been left disappointed by the lack of exercise medicine I have been exposed to during my time at medical school. Despite it being a well-established way to prevent, treat and manage illness, exercise medicine does not feature significantly in medical curricula throughout the United Kingdom. As a result, there is lack of knowledge and awareness in the medical community. This issue is not limited to doctors: all allied health care professionals are in a position to influence positive lifestyle changes and all should be exposed to exercise medicine in their undergraduate curricula. We are currently missing out on a fantastic opportunity to empower the health care professionals of the future to be confident in advising patients about utilising exercise to improve their health and quality of life. This commission report demonstrates that physical activity can be successfully integrated into medical school curricula, and that students can encourage and support this being implemented. Katie Marino Final year medical student, University of Sheffield.
