That is an excellent question.
In my opinion:
1) lecturers must be dedicated to their missions as the ones who build the capacity of new generations of young people in charge to design and implement the future of the nation;
2) lecturers must develop methods making students to be able to critical thinking;
3) lecturers must give the opportunity to students to speak and develop their ideas.
When I was a nurse practitioner (for bladder and bowel) I used to see people clinically but also taught. Sometimes it was on NHS premises but I also spoke to groups at a local university, where people working locally were updating their qualifications etc. by attending courses put on by the university.
I had working knowledge of what I was teaching and was able to leave my PowerPoint slides and talk about what was relevant regarding what had been asked by a student. But everything was anonymous; no names were mentioned.
I think this helped those who I was teaching because it was experiential, from both me and them, up-to-date as I used to try to read all the latest findings, go to conferences etc. and about what those listening wanted to hear. Often, it would relate to their work 'out in the field' and others from the same workplace knew who was being discussed.
