Summer 2024 Newsletter
Summer seems to be in full swing after such a wet and windy spring. As the sun shines and the evenings are bright, our undergraduate students are finished with the semester. As lecturers we are now busy marking and moderating but also preparing for the next academic year. This is also a busy time for us to pursue our research activities, attend conferences and develop new teaching materials!

First CPD Framework Revalidation Stakeholder Event
First CPD Framework Revalidation Stakeholder Event
In the spirit of creating fresh endeavors, I am really pleased to share with you that we are holding our first stakeholder event for the CPD framework revalidation on the 17th July 2024 where we will meet with our regional practice partners together with PIER partnership members to discuss what good CPD looks like for Health and Social Care/Social Work practitioners. This is an exciting opportunity to take a strength-based approach through the Appreciative Inquiry model to design a framework that is fit for the future, whilst meeting the demands for practice in the here and now.
To include our national partners in the conversation, we will hold an online stakeholder event later in the year!
