Abstract
This presentation will begin with a brief introduction to
establish a common understanding of the term 'innovation'
in the context of higher education. It will then
summarise key principles for good design of innovations,
based on relevant research and theory. In order to
demonstrate the application of research to development,
there will be shown a representative sample of exemplary
innovations in learning and teaching within healthrelated
subject areas, as educators seek to respond to
rapid and significant changes in both education and
health care policy and practice, such as patient-centred
quality care, economy of resources and inter-disciplinarity
(Barr, 2002). Particular attention will be paid to
Scottish initiatives.
