Meet the team
Details of the programme team and their profiles.
The HCP-Med team is led by Dr Helen Richards and includes highly experienced clinical and non-clinical teachers, all of whom have extensive experience in higher education.
We are also very fortunate to have team members with expertise in both the pedagogical and technical aspects of eLearning.
We work closely with colleagues teaching on the main MBChB programme. The academic team is supported by Susan Maitland, HCP-Med Coordinator and Vasiliki Pothitou, Programme Administrator.
Our aim is to provide the best possible learning experience for our students and our approach is underpinned by a spirit of openness whereby we encourage constructive feedback and peer learning.
