Mr Allan Sunderland

I am a Registered Paramedic and have joined the Paramedic team in 2024 from another HEI.  My HEI career started in 2018 after leaving the NHS where I had various educational roles ranging from the humble, yet essential Practice Educator through to senior roles as an Education and Training Officer and lastly as a Training Centre and Qualtiy Assurance Manager.  After achieving my MA in Medical Education, is was able to take the next step into higher education where I have undertaken various roles and projects to advance paramedic education.

My professional focus and diversification to clinical practice is Education, where I seek to research and develop professional and demographical understanding of how we learn, how we educate, and how we can combine the two to provide optimal learning environments that are a rich source of critical growth.  Simulation is another keen interest where I seek to explore the biopsychosocial influences of learners and systems so that we can break down assessment barriers and promote assessment for learning.
