SHA Commissioning Lead Spends a Day in the Life of the University of Worcester
West Midlands Strategic Health Authority’s lead on commissioning numbers for healthcare students spent the day at the University of Worcester to learn more about the way it operates.
Chris Wood, who is the lead on Non Medical Education and Training for the West Midlands Strategic Health Authority, wanted to experience ‘a day in the life of a university’.
“I wanted to get an idea of how a university operates and meet those individuals I am in regular contact and communication with,” he said.
Mr Wood was given a tour of the University and shown around some of the simulation equipment used by nursing and midwifery students.
“The facilities at the University of Worcester are excellent,” he said. “I was particularly impressed with the podcasting of lectures, so that students can download and refer to them at a later date.”
Jan Quallington, Head of Quality Assurance and Enhancement at the University, said: “We were delighted that Chris chose the University of Worcester to come and have a look at. It is important for us to build a good relationship and to know how each other works.”
