To change your name or prefix title contact Ask HR (opens in new tab)  If you want to update an academic title you'll need to provide evidence e.g. a PhD certificate.

If you have more than one post only your main job title will display here, but you can add further posts or roles in other sections of your profile.

About

Luca joined the Faculty of Medicine in September 2022 and he is based in the School of Primary Care, Population Sciences and Medical Education.

He leads the Medical Humanities module (Student Selected Unit 2) and, in his Senior Tutor role, Luca provides pastoral support for students in Years 1 and 2.  He is also the Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) lead. Luca is keen on promoting interdisciplinary approaches and intercultural awareness, crucial for the 21st-century medical curriculum. He is particularly interested in how arts and humanities as well as TEL can be embedded in the medical education to promote a more holistic and compassionate approach to patient care.

Educated both in Europe (University of Bologna, Italy) and in the UK (Universities of Birmingham and Kent), Luca has an interdisciplinary background in medical humanities, philosophy, and history of psychoanalysis.

In the last ten years, Luca has taught and supported UG and PG students at the Universities of Kent, Southampton and Winchester in a variety of educational roles as lecturer, academic and pastoral tutor, peer-learning supervisor, and in a range of academic fields, including medical education, humanities, and social sciences.

You can update this in Pure (opens in a new tab). Select ‘Edit profile’. Under the heading and then ‘Curriculum and research description’, select ‘Add profile information’. In the dropdown menu, select - ‘About’.

Write about yourself in the third person. Aim for 100 to 150 words covering the main points about who you are and what you currently do. Clear, simple language is best. You can include specialist or technical terms.

You’ll be able to add details about your research, publications, career and academic history to other sections of your staff profile.
