Abstract

What do all healthcare educators have in common: what do they do, know and value? This monograph reports on research to establish the views of health professions educators, regulators, learned societies and professional bodies on the shared values and key activities undertaken by all healthcare professions educators. The five-stage research project involved hundreds of participants from over 20 healthcare professions. A variety of methods was used to establish a broad consensus, demonstrating conclusively that healthcare professions educators share a strong set of values around the importance of professional healthcare education for safeguarding
and preserving excellence. While each profession develops its students, trainees and practitioners in its own way, the fundamental work of the healthcare educator is broadly similar regardless of clinical specialty or profession. This new insight provides solid academic underpinning for multi-professional and interprofessional practice in healthcare education and offers a new shared perspective on the future for healthcare education and educators.
