Dr Roger Kneebone is a Senior Lecturer in Surgical Education in the Department of Biosurgery and Technology at Imperial College London. He holds a PhD in education in the context of surgery, as well as being trained both in surgery and primary care. He researches and publishes widely on surgical education and training and makes extensive use of innovative approaches to teaching (including the use of simulation, mobile learning technology, e-portfolios and electronically supported distance learning). He leads two high profile, national training programmes for new professional roles within surgery, the Perioperative Specialist Practitioner and Surgical Care Practitioner. Roger also leads the UK's first Masters in Education (M Ed) in Surgical Education, which started in 2005. The programme is aimed at surgeons, anaesthetists, operating room personnel, standardized patients, educators and others with an interest in surgical education. It has a strong emphasis on educational theory and practice, simulation and educational technology, assessment and research methods. Expertise and interest within the Department of Biosurgery and Technology focus on the development of surgical technology, the use of such technology in surgery and the implications of such developments for training, supervision and assessment. All these resonate with the main themes within the MEd. A now well established and highly successful MSc in Surgical Technology within the Department will allow cross fertilisation between the two Masters programmes.
