What we do

Established in 2017 and made up of a small number of educationalists and educational scholars, the centre provides support, guidance and inspiration to all those individuals and groups which are interested in enhancing their educational understanding and practice, and/or wish to be involved in educational scholarship and research.

Importantly, we support students in their learning development and advise academics about the best way to assist their students with their learning needs and capabilities.

We are guided by the principles of collaboration, dialogue, inclusivity and respect, and we support an educational culture that is principled, evidence-informed and forward-looking.

We offer a wide-ranging number of activities, from the SHINE professional recognition scheme for St George’s staff, to validated, credit-bearing programmes (our PGCert, in Healthcare and Biomedical Education), learning support for students and a series of initiatives for sharing good practice and enhancing educational scholarship and research.
