Richard Young

I am an experienced GP with a strong interest in teaching and learning at all levels in medicine. I first got involved with teaching as a VTS Course Organiser shortly after becoming a GP Principal and have been hooked ever since. As time goes by I am increasingly interested in learning about what works (and does not work!) in the process of learning to be a doctor. I am active in education outside the medical School and wish to see less of a divide between undergraduate and postgraduate learning.
