Pharmacy Education Research
At Newcastle University, the development and enhancement of pharmacy education research is a key part of our research and teaching.
Academic staff are actively engaged in scholarly activity throughout their tenure.
This helps to ensure that research-led teaching is at the heart of student learning and development. We review programmes against:
- professional standards
- student feedback
- external review
- recent pedagogical research
The Pharmacy Education Research Group (PERG) was established in September 2019. Our researchers represent a broad range of backgrounds and professional experiences. We have researchers from across fundamental sciences and the clinical setting.
The group is:
- dedicated to focused and deliberate educational innovations and rigorous educational scholarship to inform student learning
- aiming to identify and investigate key research questions in pharmacy education
- developing cohesion in the area of pharmacy education to produce focused outcomes that lead to impact
There is a wide diversity of topics being researched amongst the group that fall within four broad themes:
- preparedness for practice
- engagement with and success within the profession
- student learning
- assessment and feedback
