What we do
The Health Sciences and Practice Subject Centre provides discipline based support to departments and individual academics to provide the best possible higher education learning experience for all students, both in academic and practice contexts.
We also work with the wider health professions community to contribute to policy development and implementation.
Our work covers the many, and rapidly changing, agendas that are relevant to health professions education and this website provides a wealth of resources to support our constituency.
