Aston University receives prestigious awards for teaching excellence
)
A CATE recognises and rewards collaborative work that has had a demonstrable impact on teaching and learning and highlights the key role of teamwork in UK higher education.
PEIG’s submission was led by Natalie Lewis, associate head of school (operations). The PEIG team members Michelle Elston, Gagandeep Degun, Debbie Kemp, Olivia Mina, Rebecca Teece (Boots the Chemist), Hayley Smith, Anna Durkin, Emma Smith, Ramandeep Sandhu (South Doc Services) and Ben Willets were named in the award as well as external partner Will Pamment from AI simulation software company SimConverse.
The team has expanded placements by 700% for students across pharmacy disciplines. Placements are supported with simulations, medicines information training and campus-based student-led clinics.
The team introduced SimConverse AI simulation software to quality assure training for pharmacy placements, helping to overcome some of the barriers to NHS placement delivery. PEIG’s academics, technical team members, sector leads and SimConverse came together with community pharmacies, GP practices and NHS trusts to develop realistic simulations and training programmes.
Ms Lewis said:
“The CATE award is testament to the collaboration, innovation and hard work of all those involved; within the PEIG team, the wider university and our partners. I am immensely proud of what we have been able to achieve and what this award represents. We look forwards to further sharing our approach with other institutions and welcoming new partners through the endorsement of this award.”
