Dr Emyr Benbow
Consultant Histopathologist, Manchester.
Dr Emyr Benbow’s main interest is in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education, successfully introducing educational change in the University of Manchester, locally and regionally in the NHS, and nationally at the Royal College of Pathologists. He has achieved major modernisation of the MRCPath in Histopathology Part 1, replacing essays with high quality MCQs and EMQs, by establishing and chairing question writing workshops to ensure quality and validity, and developing standard setting methods where none existed before. He has been an Examiner for the autopsy component of the MRCPath for many years, and has recently helped Professor Sebastian Lucas formulate proposals for modernising the autopsy assessment.
Dr Benbow has successfully designed, and ran, communication skills workshops for trainee histopathologists in the North West Region, using a grant awarded by the Department of Health, a sum of £8,000. He was been elected onto the Council of the Royal College of Pathologists in 2005, having already joined, by invitation, working groups on Quality of Autopsy Practice; Run-through Training; Histopathology Run-through Training and Assessment; Pathology Core Curriculum and Public Relations. He is an organiser of the histopathology component of the annual National Scientific Meeting of the Association of Clinical Pathologists.
As Chair of Manchester Medical School's Mind and Movement Module Management Group, with Professor Carl Whitehouse, he pioneered the first paperless problem based learning in the school, the first successful attempt to use this method to deliver core knowledge in any British medical school. Rather than basing PBL tutorials on fictional patients, student learning is based on real community patients, which makes huge difference to student engagement in psychosocial issues.
He provides the majority of the training for Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) examiners for Manchester's MB ChB. He regularly attends question writing workshops for the Universities Medical Assessments Partnership (UMAP), and is lead for quality control for the UMAP examination question bank, now shared by fifteen medical schools. He regularly contributes to question writing workshops for the General Medical Council’s PLAB Test. He chairs the emendation committee for the Progress Test for Manchester’s MB ChB examination, recently pioneering its application to all 5 years of the course. He also chairs the emendation committee for the Patient Management Problem paper for our final MB ChB examination.
Dr Benbow’s recent research has been limited because of major commitments in teaching in the University of Manchester, and a major service commitment for the NHS for Central Manchester and Manchester Children’s University Hospitals NHS Trust. However, he has published nearly 60 papers in peer-reviewed journals, including the Journal of Pathology, which now carries the highest impact factor of all journals in its field. Grant income has recently been limited because of teaching load, but Dr Benbow is currently the lead for the Manchester arm of a research project looking into the role of magnetic resonance imaging in Coroner's autopsies; this work is supported by a grant of £260,000, provided by the Department of Health, and held jointly with Dr Ian Roberts of the Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford.
