About Allan
I am a Registered Paramedic, joining the 探花视频 Paramedic team in 2024 from another HEI.听 My HEI career started in 2018 after leaving the NHS where I had various educational roles ranging from the humble, yet essential Practice Educator to senior roles as an Education and Training Officer and lastly as a Training Centre and Quality Assurance Manager.听 After achieving my MA in Medical Education, I took the next step into higher education where I have undertaken various roles and projects to advance paramedic education.
听
My professional focus and diversification to clinical practice are within the Pillar of Education, where I seek to research and develop a professional and demographical understanding of how we learn, how we educate, and how we can combine the two to provide optimal learning environments that are a rich source of critical growth.听 Simulation is another keen interest, and I seek to explore the biopsychosocial influences of learners and systems so that we can break down assessment barriers and promote assessment for learning.
听
The current focus of my professional research is linked to Specific Learning Difficulties & Health (SpLD&H), exploring how, in the modern sociocultural and historical paradigm, we can break down barriers and increase both opportunity and inclusion.
