Derek Milne is Regional Tutor in Clinical Psychology in England's Northern Region, working for Northumberland District Psychology Service and the University of Newcastle. He has written extensively about teaching and training. Steve Noone has worked on a wide range of staff training projects, and his PhD thesis is on the important variables involved in fostering learning. He is based at Clwyd Clinical Psychology Service and the University of Wales.Investing in the training of staff ensures that standards are maintained and that skills are developed in the work force. This results in a large demand for training, and an increasingly wide range of staff are being asked to take on a teaching role to help out specialist teachers and trainers. This can often be a baptism of fire, and it is common for the individual to come away with negative feelings about the whole teaching experience. Frequently there is recognition that skills and knowledge about teaching need to be acquired.
