Subject Centre for Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Medicine Annual Report 2006-7
4. Integrating spirituality into the undergraduate medical curriculum - 16/04/07
"It made a practical difference to my education-related work; colleagues and I are setting up an
'interest group' and are now more aware of how to ensure this subject is evident within the
curriculum."
Following collation and analysis, feedback is provided to facilitators and participants, and where an event
was deemed a success, participants are encouraged to offer that same event at their own institution
(training the trainers). For example, participants valued the opportunity to meet at the national workshops.
Workshop materials, facilitators briefing notes etc. are made available to the constituency at large via the
web site and these may be downloaded and adapted for use elsewhere 22 , and are incorporated into the
RAFTT archive.
Full external evaluation report was commissioned in 2005-6 (completing within the reporting period) in
order to set the base line of progress made by MEDEV prior to federation with HSaP. This was
undertaken primarily via telephone interviews with a variety of stakeholders, and some input from
questionnaire responses. A satisfactory report is summarised in 22 Appendix Nine: External Evaluator’s
Report Higher Education Academy Subject Centre for Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Medicine
(MEDEV) on page 179 below.
