Hi Lucy;
For one thing they should be so grateful that you're helping them develop
this necessary skill. Needless to say.......
One idea you could use is from the Problem Based Learning model. Choose a
subject such as ankle sprain.
Break it down into different subjects such as anatomy, biomechanics,
injuries, surgery, rehabilitation, etc. Then give the different tasks to do
for each of the subjects just mentioned. Let me know how this works or if
you'd like more information.
This is similar to the sink or swim method that was referred to, but is more
important than open skull and pour in information that all to often
prevalent in academia.

Hi
I work as an NHS librarian and part of my job is to train staff. In a few
weeks I am training a group of junior physiotherpists on the subject of
literature searching.
How can I capture their imagination!
Any hints or tips would be appreciated.
Thanks
