| Achoimre: | Report of a fellowship that was directed to the adaptation and expansion of a staff development program, Teaching on the Run, from the original focus which was doctors, to a broader group of health professionals including nurses, allied health professionals and veterinarians. It was based on the premise that there are substantial similarities and challenges in the way health professionals teach and supervise whilst working in a clinical setting. The work took the interactive workshops and associated resources and adapted them to the various settings, taking into account the priority areas or challenges in the discipline, the context of learning and the usual educational environment. In addition, workshops for multi-professional groups, including to specifically foster inter-professional learning, were developed and run. Through identifying a disciplinary lead, reviewing the literature and current available resources, we developed workshops and videos and implemented the program with a variety of collaborators. The focus differed from the original in regard to disciplinary focus, because of availability of people and urgent need for staff development in others (vets). [Executive summary, ed]
