Our work

MEDEV, the Higher Education Acdemy Subject Centre for Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Medicine (www.medev.ac.uk), is based in the Faculty of Medical Sciences at the University of Newcastle.  MEDEV is an independent agency, with a national remit, responsible directly to its three subject constituencies through the Higher Education Academy and the UK Higher Education Funding Councils. The objective is to facilitate the development of caring, knowledgeable, competent and skilful graduates who broadly understand health and disease and who are able to benefit from subsequent education and adapt to future developments in practice.

We provide an enquiry service, access to information via a web interface to our databases of resources, providing advice, support, information and facilitating the activities of people-networks, disseminate examples of good practice and innovation in learning and teaching as well as produce a regular newsletters, and run workshops and conferences on specific themes related to each of the three sectors we cover and also more generic teaching and learning topics.  Contributions from our consistency are always welcomed.

MEDEV, like the other 23 subject centres, actively works with different subject centres on a range of collaborative activities to foster knowledge sharing across the sector and has a more formal relationship with the subject centre for Health Science and Practice, through the HEALTH Network Group.  This partnership provides support across the inter-related constituencies of each subject centre.

Further information will be publicised on our web site www.medev.ac.uk and through newsletters, blogs, RSS feeds and discussion groups. Enquiries are welcome and you can contact the office Monday – Friday, 9.00am – 5.00pm.
