The Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences requires an External Examiner to support its Professional Preparation Programmes. The School of Health Sciences at the University of Surrey is a vibrant and innovative school, offering a broad range of educational programmes in healthcare. We are seeking to appoint replacement external examiners for the Schools pre-registration programmes for nursing studies and paramedic science.
External examiners are required to review and evaluate assessment marking; be a member of the Board of Examiners and attend meetings; comment and give advice on programme content, balance and structure; and to complete an annual report as part of the University of Surreys quality assurance mechanisms. The University requires external examiners to attend a minimum of one Board of Examiners meeting per year.
Experience of external examining would be an advantage but is not essential. All appointments are subject to meeting the University’s criteria for the appointment of external examiners. Applicants should be registered with the HCPC for the Paramedic Programme and the NMC for the Nursing programmes. The successful applicants would be appointed with effect from April 2020 for a term of four academic years.
An External Examiner is required for the following programmes:
