Show Notes
This podcast accompanies Teaching Matter's July-August Learning and Teaching Enhancement theme: Showcasing the Doctoral College.
In this podcast, Fiona, head of Doctoral College, speaks to Professor Patrick Hadoke, who is the Personal Chair of Arterial Remodelling and the Director of Postgraduate Student and Early Career Researcher Experience in the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine. He speaks generally about his experiences as a research supervisor and more specifically about his reflections on completing the UKCGE programme. He also shares some excellent insights and tips for those who are starting out as new supervisors and indeed for anyone else who has an interest in research supervision. A key takeaway is an emphasis he places on the human side of supervision, something which he stresses should not be overlooked even in a busy, high-pressure research environment.
A transcript is provided and, for ease, the main themes are discussed at these times in the recording:
0.44 Overview of experience as a research supervisor, the most enjoyable and most challenging aspects
4.59 Experience of completing the UK Council for Graduate Education (UKCGE) research supervision recognition programme
9.59 Advice and tips for new PhD supervisors
