Problem based learning is well established in health education. PBL<br />

is a pedagogical strategy <strong>of</strong> active learning. It is characterised by<br />

students engaging in small collaborative groups, learning is driven<br />

by challenging and realistic clinical problems (“triggers”) and<br />

lecturers take on a facilitative role. It is, therefore, a shift from a<br />

teaching paradigm to a learning paradigm. The learning<br />

environment in PBL is largely dependent on lecturer facilitation <strong>of</strong><br />

the process.<br />

The aim <strong>of</strong> this poster is to outline the experiences <strong>of</strong> university<br />

lecturers during the facilitation <strong>of</strong> a problem-based learning module<br />

for post-graduate students undertaking a higher diploma in<br />

children’s nursing. A reflective structure was used by facilitators to<br />

explore the challenges <strong>of</strong> implementation and facilitation. This<br />

reflective analysis will be used to guide future PBL facilitation.<br />
