  2. UCL strategic aim for education “UCL is committed to providing education of the highest academic quality, rigorous in its demands, distinctive in its character, imbued with UCL’s world-leading research and delivered by academic staff at the forefront of their field.” UCL Council White Paper 2011-2021

  3. UCL strategic aim for education An SLMS objective: • Commitment to career-long learning through delivery of a world leading CPD programme • Meeting the changing demands of the biomedical and health ecosystem by equipping the leaders of today and tomorrow • Reinforcing UCL’s thought leadership and academic reputation in life and biomedical science, and health care

  4. The wider context • The CPD market is changing: • Advances of e-learning technologies have led to market growth • Changes in UK medical regulation process - revalidation every 5yrs requires 50 hrs of CPD • Changes to the healthcare education landscape e.g. LETBs, MDECs. Increased demand from healthcare trainee education providers

  5. What we are doing… • CPD activity exists in disciplinary ‘pockets’ across SLMS. To fully realise the potential of this activity – and become ‘more than the sum of our parts’ – we will draw CPD delivery together as a coordinated programme • SLMS CPD will: • Build on SLMS’s existing courses in areas of research and educational strength • Leverage our institutional commitment to e-technology investment and innovation • Leverage UCL’s reputation as ‘London’s Global University’ Today’s event demonstrates this commitment!

  6. Institutional commitment to e-learning • To reinforce UCL’s reputation as a hub of excellence and innovation in teaching and learning, UCL has committed to a greater focus on e-learning technology and innovation • UCL’s ‘E-Learning Strategy: 2012-2015’ outlines this institutional commitment, emphasising seamless technology both online and in the physical learning. • Implementation of the strategy will be enabled by: • Departmental engagement and local champions, working with and supported by staff from E-Learning Environments (ELE) and the Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT). • A new central support and governance structure for e-learning. • Integration with Vice Provost (Enterprise) strategic initiatives

  7. SLMS CPD Ambition Together we will… • Raise UCL’s profile as a global educational leader – leveraging e-learning delivery to make UCL’s life and biomedical expertise available to a global audience, and extend UCL’s identity as a provider of both excellent research and education. • Achieve an international CPD presence on a scale comparable with benchmark institutions such as Harvard, Stanford and MIT, and to realise the income-generation potential of UCL’s unique attributes.
