"As part of its hospital redevelopment plans, the Trust will provide space within The Royal London Hospital to support near-patient teaching and research activities."

"Pharmacy undergraduate education is becoming more markedly clinical in its direction but opportunities to practice near-patient teaching, particularly in a critical care environment, are limited due to large student numbers."

"Practically, HPS in the settings used could only be delivered to a small group of students (in this case six) at any one time. This does reflect real world, near-patient teaching where small groups of students would be introduced to a case on a ward or in ICU."

" This is particularly true with pharmacy students who may have had little near-patient experience, especially in a critical care setting. "

bedside teaching is a form of patient-centred teaching

near-patient teaching is also used, as in "near-patient testing" (point of care), "near-patient learning" and "near-patient experience"
