Welcome to this Blog. My name is Helen Gough and I currently lead a teacher preparation programme here at Glasgow Caledonian University. My primary profession is nursing  and I entered my secondary profession of teaching  in 1999 when I completed a PgCert higher education then MEd at the University of Strathclyde.  My specialist interest is in the preparation of health and social care educators.

The current PgC Education in health and social care (NMC teacher/HEA FEllow) that I lead  has been running very successfully for 5 years and is now due for routine re-approval next month. This has given the programme development team,  which is made up of current and past students, the programme team and colleagues from clinical practice an opportunity to fully review and enhance the programme. This has included  the development of a new title of PgC Education in academic and practice settings.
