Dr Peter Leadbetter, Senior Lecturer in Medical Education, has been recognised in the annual Advance HE National Teaching Fellowship Scheme (NFTS), which highlights outstanding contribution to excellent teaching and inspiring colleagues in higher education.
Fifty-five new National Teaching Fellows have been awarded along with 15 winning Collaborative Award for Teaching Excellence (CATE) teams, taking the total number of awards to 1143 for NTFS since the scheme’s launch in 2000, and 119 for CATE since the first awards in 2016.
“I am delighted and incredibly proud to be awarded a National Teaching Fellowship. To be recognised by my peers is an absolute honour and I am very grateful to receive this prestigious award.
“These awards highlight the impact teaching, meaningful role models, and a commitment to widening participation can make on outcomes for students and so it’s particularly pleasing to be recognised for this at national level.
“I’ve been supported to excel by fantastic colleagues and students who have helped make this award possible.”
Dr Peter Leadbetter

An independent panel of senior higher education leaders, representing the four UK nations, assures the quality of the National Teaching Fellowship Scheme and Collaborative Award for Teaching Excellence and recommends winners.
“Every year as we select the NTFS and CATE winners, we are in awe of these extraordinary and gifted people who are teaching with such professionalism, passion and commitment in higher education. This year was no different.
“These awards are incredibly important in recognising and celebrating these people and in sharing ‘what works’ so that colleagues can build on their expertise too and students can enjoy the benefits of great practice in teaching and learning.”
