Our work in education and training aims to build on the skills and assets of the partnership. KHP WCH facilitates the delivery of multi-professional training across the partner organisations.
We provide, develop and deliver short courses, MSc modules, e-learning and simulation training for clinical professionals. In doing so, we support skills and career development across professional groups, facilitate workforce innovation and the translation of knowledge into action. We work with colleagues to develop and deliver training to enhance clinical skills. We promote and support clinical-academic career development, addressing barriers to growing clinical academic leaders of the future.

The Essential Knowledge for Obstetric Medicine (kcl.ac.uk) is a postgraduate module that brings together professions usually trained in silos, to enhance effective learning and ways of working.
This core module provides the opportunity for clinicians, who care for pregnant women and birthing people, to advance their knowledge of obstetric medicine in a multidisciplinary setting which encompasses medical disorders in pregnancy. Students are actively engaged via specialist lectures and interactive learning opportunities. The module draws on the clinical and academic strengths across King’s Health Partners. The module is open to all health professionals working on the ‘shop floor’ and is delivered by an expert faculty including obstetricians, anaesthetists, midwives, and advanced nurse practitioners.
The Adolescence for Clinicians: An escape room course is an innovative ‘escape-room’ format online training in communications. It aims to support effective communications with adolescents in everyday and challenging situations. The course includes simulation, group discussions, and didactic teaching. Participants gain insights into eating disorders, mental health, and social psychological issues through three pre-recorded practical scenarios.
This course is delivered online with pre-recorded course material on King’s Health Partners Learning Hub. This course is open to all clinicians who work with adolescents including junior doctors, paramedics, GPs, physicians, surgeons, specialists, paramedics, and nurses of all grades and specialty.

The group, chaired by Dr Anita Banerjee, including KHP partners and external organisations, had been convened in September 2023, as an opportunity to discuss approaches for simulation training, share expertise and learn from each other. We meet every two months with an aim to co-produce a meaningful strategy to identify gaps and support each other with the simulation delivery for women and children.
The recent in-person workshop, brought together simulation leads across Guy's and St Thomas' FT, King's College London NHS FT, South London and Maudsley NHS FT, Maudsley Learning, and King’s College London Simulation and Interactive Learning Centres (SaIL), and received great feedback as we started new conversations and a shared vision in supporting our fellow partners with the simulation delivery. The next stages will see the co-ordination and development of a live directory for the partners to feed into. For enquiries, please contact the Education and Training team khp-iwch
