Jonathan Davies has been employed as Principal Teaching Fellow in Experiential Learning in the School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences since January 2024, having previously been previously employed a Senior Lecturer in Clinical Pharmacy since 2015. He is actively involved in the leadership of Experiential Learning for the MPharm programme, including practice placement and simulation-based learning. Jonathan is a GPhC-registered pharmacist with Independent Prescribing annotation, and has experience of providing pharmacy services in a hospital setting.
Jonathan teaches actively across all four levels of the MPharm programme, as well as postgraduate Clinical Pharmacy programmes offered by the School. Jonathan has a particular interest in the use of simulation and simulated practice in undergraduate and postgraduate pharmacy education and leads the Simulated practice Experiential Learning stream for the MPharm programme.
Jonathan is a member of the Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics research group, and his current research interests include the implementation and evaluation of programmes of simulation in undergraduate pharmacy education, incorporating both in-person and immersive virtual simulation.
