Physiotherapy Practice Educators Study Days

2013-14

Given below are the dates Practice Educators’ Study Days from April 2013 – September 2014 plus the contents of each course. If you would like to reserve a place, please complete the application form and forward to the University by the closing date indicated. If you have any queries, contact names and telephone numbers are given below.

The days have been divided into those for New Practice Educators and those for Experienced Practice Educators. The “new” and “experienced” is in relation to how much experience you have had with students. Please apply to whichever course would best meet your needs. Please note that study days will include training on the placement management system used by the University of Hertfordshire.

We are also able to offer tailor made/bespoke courses if sites have particular development needs. Please contact Sue Roscoe (Practice Team Lead) for further details.

If there are sufficient numbers of Practice educators within a trust requiring training, it may be more appropriate for us to deliver an ‘on-site’ course. New and experienced educator courses are delivered in this way as is the ‘Supporting the failing/struggling student’ workshop. We are happy to discuss your needs in this regard. Please contact Sue Roscoe for further details.
