Mr Dr John Macklin

I manage a significant budget, create action plans and strategies to improve student outcomes, UEL and school KPIs.  I work on developing the school Knowledge Exchange and have had a significant impact on our KEF performance.  I carry out staff appraisals and allocate workloads as well as address poor performance concerns.  I have delivered CPD for the team to improve pedagogy and supervise 4 doctoral students.  I am one of two Heads of department in the school and am an active and key member of the School of Education & Communities leadership team.
As a Principal Fellow of the HEA I mentor and coach colleagues who are aiming to gain PFHEA status I also run and teach a module where Nurse Educators can gain a level 7 qualifications in coaching from the Chartered Management Institute.  These two coaching activities have an impact on the quality of teaching, coaching and mentoring in both my HEI, and Health sector.
