Dear Members,

As part of the work that Beverley Durrant is leading for us on the Educator Workforce, she has secured a great opportunity for members to get involved with the next stage of development of the AHP Educator Career Framework.

Please see below for more information.

 RE: Invitation to share experiences of the AHP educator career framework

We are contacting you as you may already be using the Allied-Health-Professions-Educator-Framework.pdf (councilofdeans.org.uk) or attended the ‘Bringing the AHP Educator Career Framework Alive’ event in March 2024.  Whether you were there or not, you may like to be involved in the next steps of the framework development.

We are looking to conduct some short interviews to obtain people’s views and experiences of how they have used the AHP Educator Career Framework. This would involve participating in an interview that may take between 20-30 minutes via TEAMS at a time that will be negotiated with you but is likely to be in June 2024. 

It is very important to us that you have all the information you require about this project before you decide whether you wish to volunteer to participate.  Please do take some time to read the  participant information sheet and consent form below.

If you are replying to agree to be contacted for an interview could you also indicate if you have used the AHP Educator Career Framework before and a brief description in what capacity.

Our one-day event theme will be based on  “Sustainability in Prosthetics and Orthotics.” 

It will feature a combination of invited speakers and free paper presentations aimed at prosthetic and orthotic professionals. 

The program will commence at 10:00 am and conclude at 4:00 pm, with registration and exhibition starting at 9:00 am. There will be a 1-hour lunch break and two 15-minute coffee breaks in the morning and afternoon. All will be served in the room opening onto the exhibition area.
