Project

In partnership with experts in professional development for health and care - Professors Tim Swanwick and Clare Morris - we were commissioned to produce a series of 6 x fifteen minute podcasts. These are designed to provide a lasting, takeaway learning aid that is easily accessed by people in their own time, such as in the car on the way to work, or used as flipped classroom material for face-to-face, online or blended sessions delivered in-house. The podcasts reinforce and support a learning package created by Swanwick-Morris for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Trust that builds on the concept of work-based learning for all healthcare professionals.

We worked with Swanwick-Morris on their plans for delivering easily accessible content on a variety of work-based learning themes. Recordings of conversations between the two experts took place over two sessions, with the emphasis on relaxed presentation that delivers clear information, tips and ideas, within a short period of time.

The podcasts were edited for fluency and clarity, and key points were emphasised with brief musical idents. We worked with Swanwick-Morris on titles, strap lines and key information to package the podcasts before arranging for them to be hosted on various audio platforms.

We created a series of short podcasts for clinical educators with Sarah. Throughout the process she helped us think about how we would connect with our audience, how we could make complex ideas accessible, how we could use simple story telling to powerful effect. During recording, Sarah created a really relaxed and enabling environment whilst clearly setting (and achieving) high standards.

Thank you for creating the Work-Based Learning podcast...I really appreciated the style of these short episodes, which model good teaching at the same time as laying out theory and practice in a very accessible way.
