Outstanding Educators

Congratulations to Behavioural Psychotherapist Ivor Smith, who won ‘Educator of the Year’ at the recent Student Nursing Times Awards. Ivor combines his NHS work with a secondment at the University of Stirling where he works as a part-time teaching fellow.

Another NHS Forth Valley Behavioural Psychotherapist, Jennie Young, also on secondment to the University as a part-time teaching fellow, has been given a RATE award by students for Excellence in Teaching in the Faculty of Health Sciences and Sport. The RATE (Recognising Achievement in Teaching Excellence) scheme offers students the opportunity to let the teachers they admire and appreciate know how valued they are. Ivor was also shortlisted in this category.
