Martin, Jan - University of Wolverhampton - Faculty of Science & Engineering

个人简介

I graduated from The Queen’s University of Belfast with a BSc (Hons) Biochemistry degree in 1987. I then joined the Faculty of Medicine at The Queen’s University of Belfast where I spent three years studying for a PhD in Oncology where my research focussed on modulation of growth factor and steroid hormone receptor expression in human breast cancer cells. Following completion of my PhD, I moved to the University of Liverpool in 1990, where I carried out three years of Post-Doctoral research investigating the role of monocytes and macrophages in tumour cell killing. I then took up the role of lecturer in Biomedical Science at the University of Wolverhampton in 1993 and Senior lecturer in 1998. I then took on a role as Principal Lecturer and Placement Manager before my current role as Principal Lecturer for Accreditation and Development (PSRB) and Deputising for Head of School.

研究领域

Continuing Professional Development – The European Perspective I am interested in the approaches to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for Biomedical Scientists in different European Countries. There are different requirements in different European countries for how continued registration/licence is linked to CPD and the requirements for certain amounts and types of CPD and for CPD activities to meet specified accreditation criteria. As there is a spectrum of approaches to CPD within different European countries I was awarded a grant for 100,000 Euros from the European Commission Leonardo Partnership funding stream for the following project ‘Enhance IT - Enhancing Hospital Laboratory Standards for CPD: A Quality Improvement Toolkit’ Continuing Professional Development – What is the Impact? I am also interested in the impact of Continuing Professional Development. Although the purposes of CPD are clearly defined by most professional bodies, I am currently ascertaining if CPD activities are actually effective in achieving the overall specified purpose of CPD and how/if this can be effectively measured.
