E-learning could help universities prepare junior doctors to develop a more technology-enabled health service, according to David Davies (pictured), who joins Warwick University as a reader in medical education.
It was Warwick's pioneering approach to e-learning and its strong record in research into innovative teaching methods that attracted him to the job, he said. Dr Davies leaves Birmingham University after 15 years, where he was a senior lecturer in medical education.
