The Centre for Innovation and Development in Education (CIDE) supports educators at SGUL to demonstrate their commitment to and fulfilment of the Professional Standards Framework. It does this in two principal ways, both of which are accredited by AdvanceHE, the national body promoting excellence in higher education:
1) PgCert in Healthcare and Biomedical Education. Successful completion confers Fellowship of Advance HE
2) ‘SHINE’, a way to gain professional recognition as an Advance HE Associate Fellow, Fellow or Senior Fellow, through a written application assessed by a panel of internal reviewers
Higher education professionals who are engaged in teaching and the support of learning including supervision of projects and postgraduate research, whether as a large or small proportion of their time, should be able to demonstrate that their practice is aligned to the sector-wide ‘Professional Standards Framework’ (PSF). The Framework, updated in 2023, is structured around five Professional Values, five areas of Core Knowledge and five Areas of Activity. More information is available on the webpage.
PGCert is highly recommended for academic staff, and contributes to our TEF. Consider contacting the CIDE team for other opportunities to improve your teaching too.
All research that is not being reviewed by a nationally recognised Research Ethics Committee (eg: NHS REC), that is being conducted by St George’s University London students or staff (conducting research as part of their course or job) or research which involves St George’s University London students, staff, or data, will require a favourable opinion from the St George’s Research Ethics Committee (SGREC) and governance approval by the Research Ethics and Integrity Officer, prior to commencing.
