MRC School of Health and Social Care Staff
Dr Jahanzaib Irfan
Programme Manager of Health and Social Care
Before joining Mont Rose College in April 2017, I worked as a health professional educationist in my home country in a public sector health sciences university and as a module leader for clinical medicine and functional anatomy (human) in the UK for around 8 years in a healthcare higher education institution. I am a registered medical practitioner and clinician in my home country and my primary medical qualification has also been approved by GMC UK to practise medicine in the UK. I have witnessed the growth journey of the health and social care department at Mont Rose College since its inception in April 2017 from one lecturer, one student group, and the first teaching session to becoming an independent academic discipline offering higher national diploma and degree courses. My key job roles include quality assurance in academic assessment decisions, auditing teaching and learning resources, nurturing research activities, supporting staff and students in enhancing our progression and attainment targets, organising training workshops for healthcare learners and stakeholders, etc. Having an FHEA status and a doctorate degree in clinical medicine research (surgery and cancer) augment my work experience to add value in my job roles resulting in a synergic impact on students’ progress and success.
