LCH given Teaching Trust Status

LCH given Teaching Trust Status

We have been recognised for our commitment to learning and development after being awarded Associated Teaching Trust status by the University of Leeds

Being granted Associated Teaching Trust status recognises the hard work we have undertaken in improving the quality of training offered to medical and dental students. It will help build a stronger partnership with the university and enable us to undertake more research and teaching opportunities.

Becoming a teaching trust allows us to quality assure placements more effectively and increase the number of placements available to students. This will not only help support students and influence future NHS staff in Leeds but will also benefit current staff through a shared two way learning process.

It also allow our staff fulfil the requirements of the General Medical Council’s Good Medical Practice ethical guidance with more opportunities to contribute towards teaching and to take on mentoring roles.

We will be able to include the word ‘teaching’ in our name, however, as we are currently in the middle of a Foundation Trust application no changes to our name will take place until after the application process.
