Festivals of Learning
The aim of the Festival is to enhance the quality of learning, teaching and assessment in Health Sciences and Practice, both in work settings and in higher education. Where appropriate, the Festival explores how national and regional issues and priorities relate to each other.
The Festival of Learning is an innovative concept developed by the Higher Education Academy Health Sciences and Practice Subject Centre. It is held annually, each time in a different UK location.
The Festival blends elements of established event formats - high profile keynote presentations, workshops, trigger presentations – to provide a unique celebration of diverse approaches to education and training in the Health Sciences.
