The Trust Undergraduate Team consists of a group of enthusiastic Clinicians under the leadership of Deputy Director of Medical Education (UG) Dr Ian Baxter, supported by Teaching Fellow Lead Dr Andrew Stanton and an invaluable team of administrative staff. We will offer support and supervision over the year as well as training and mentorship so that you develop your own teaching skills and understanding of wider issues in medical education.
