Dentists and doctors are being given the opportunity to learn and develop new skills at a new postgraduate education centre at Sheffield Hallam University .
The medical and dental education unit will offer health professionals from across the UK the opportunity to develop management and leadership skills, and to learn and train for other qualifications that will aid their career progression.
Professor Rhiannon Billingsley, pro-vice chancellor at the University, said: "This new centre will work closely with medical practitioners to ensure courses add real value to the professional development of the participants."
"Sheffield Hallam University has a strong track record in leading the field in terms of innovative learning methods. We also have a strong focus on supporting professional development and in offering courses that make a real difference to participants' working lives."
Lord Naren Patel, one of the country's leading obstetricians who officially opened the new education centre, added: "This centre is an invaluable resource for health practitioners who recognise ongoing training is vital for their professional development."
"The flexibility offered by being able to access these courses while continuing to work opens up the prospect of further postgraduate study to a wider range of practitioners to the benefit of themselves and their patients."
