NHSL Medical Education

Welcome to NHSL Medical Education
The NHS Lanarkshire Department of Medical Education has been working across the three acute hospitals, since 2001, responding to local training needs and national training directives and delivering ‘pathways for clinical learning’ for all clinicians from student to consultant, through our 4 training programs:
t Student Programme
t Foundation Programme
t Specialty Trainee Programme
t Senior Staff Programme
These aim to complement the existing learning opportunities provided within units and details of each can be found in the separate programme booklets. In addition, the department supports the NHS Lanarkshire General Practice Protected Learning Scheme.
The training programmes and the provision of facilities and resources are responsive to feedback gathered from students and trainees through the relevant surveys (local/ University / Deanery / GMC) and from senior staff in the annual online training needs assessment survey. We strive to provide the highest level of teaching and training supported by quality facilities and resources. We are always looking for suggestions for further development (meded@lanarkshire.scot.nhs.uk).
NHS Lanarkshire Medical Education has a dedicated Medical Education Training Centre located within the grounds of Kirklands Hospital, Bothwell.
The centre is readily accessible from the three acute hospitals and provides a central hub for medical training. It is especially equipped to support clinical simulation for medics at all levels, student to consultant. Centre details can be located via http://www.metc.scot.nhs.uk
