Dr Anita Laidlaw
Anita has been involved in healthcare education for many years including teaching medical students, dental nurses, and health psychology students. Following postdoctoral research, she became an education focused academic and has developed and run accredited training, with a focus on behavioural science, clinical communication, and research skills.
She has always been curious about students and teaching, and this led her to conduct educational research, both in healthcare and higher education. From previously holding leadership positions in the past, she has always enjoyed supporting others to develop their careers and this has given her a particular interest in supporting others to engage in high quality educational research.
Her current position as Director of CHERI also allows her to support others in educational research.
