Don't forget to check out parallel CPD programme and our Principles to Practice portfolio.
Our new Principles to Practice CPD programme has been developed around a series of core learning and teaching thematics. For each theme we have developed three 2-hour workshops which are collectively designed to provide a foundation to each thematic area. You are welcome to join any session, but we recommend that you attend the first session as an introduction and then take sessions 2 and 3 in the order that suits you.
