Fully revised and updated throughout, it continues to provide essential structure, support, guidance and tips for both beginning and experienced teachers and their managers, both in the UK and internationally.

Key points are highlighted by the inclusion of tips from experienced teachers in each chapter, while throughout chapters reflect contemporary concepts and key approaches, including teaching styles, curriculum development, e-learning, virtual learning environments, leadership and professionalism.

Praise for previous editions:
"This is a fantastic book, particularly for those new to medical training. I am currently doing a PGC in medical education and this has been an excellent resource, clear, relevant and a good mixture of necessary theory and practical application. Can't recommend highly enough." – customer review, Amazon
"A useful book for those with a genuine interest in the full gamut of education" – from a review in Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England
"Comprehensive and easy to understand. If you are looking for a book that will help you develop your teaching skills and to open your mind to the broader aspects of teaching in the healthcare setting then this is a gem not to be missed. For once it is a book that lives up to its title." – from a review in Scottish Journal of Healthcare Chaplaincy
"A book which has a considerable relevance for community practice teachers whatever their nursing discipline. The strength of the book is its practical approach to guiding and assessing students in the practice setting." – from a review in Journal of Community Nursing
