Communication Skills Tutors

Communication skills teaching takes place in the Stopford Building for students in Years 1 and 2, and for Years 3-5 at one of the clinical education campus sites:

• Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust – Oxford Road
• Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust – Wythenshawe
• Salford Royal Foundation Trust
• Lancashire Teaching Hospital Trust – Preston

All of the communication teaching and learning is in small groups based within the classroom setting. We often use simulated patients in order that learners are able to practise skills in a safe space.

There are different sessions held on most days of the week across the years, and we offer training before you facilitate a session. Senior clinicians and healthcare professionals are invited to facilitate sessions (usually agreed in your job plan), and Trainees (post FY) are welcome to join sessions and contribute under supervision of the session facilitator, to gain valuable teaching experience with agreement of your Clinical and Educational Supervisors.

Please contact us for more details about being a tutor or a simulated patient, and please include in your email the particular teaching role you are interested in, and your preferred teaching location: mbchb.prime@manchester.ac.uk.

Please check available tutor training events through the workshops page.
