This week, Dr Libby Sampey interviews Ian Lee on impromptu teaching on the medical ward. Ian discusses the importance in facilitating teaching on the wards and how to recognise and overcome challenges, as both educators and learners, to provide good quality training in a clinical setting.

Ian Lee is a Lecturer in Medical Education and Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy who works mainly on the University of Edinburgh's Clinical Educator Programme. With a background in nursing, Ian's past clinical teaching includes; teaching resuscitation and clinical skills; ALS instruction; roles in simulation based education and of course supporting medical and nursing students on clinical placement in patient facing clinical settings which is what forms the basis of today's Clinical Conversation. Now in full time academia, Ian continues to share his experiences of working with learners in clinical settings and augments this with evidence from the literature as well as insights developed from hosting workshops on similar topics.
