This is an online update - necessary social distancing due to COVID-19

This Physiotherapy Practice Educator update session would normally take place as face to face delivery at the university's Collegiate Campus. However, due to necessary social distancing for everyone's safety and to ensure that the update sessions will continue to be available for Physiotherapy Practice Educators, the programme has been restructured so that it can be delivered online.

The update session will continue to maintain its same high standard of delivery and the value of its completion certificate will be unchanged.

Who should attend the update session?

This half-day online update session is for Physiotherapy Practice Educators who need to complete the 2 years update session to continue to meet the requirements of their educator qualification.

Continued self-directed learning

Over the 2 years of your experience as a Practice Educator, it is always useful to keep up to date, when possible, with helpful, associated learning resources. For members of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, there is a lot of very useful and practical information on their website under Members Resources.

How the online update session will be delivered

The update session will mainly be delivered via a Zoom online meeting. It is appreciated that Practice Educators may have difficulty accessing the Zoom meeting due to any necessary Firewall restrictions in force by their employer. If this is the situation for you, we recommend you access the Zoom meeting via your laptop or other device. The ideal environment would be to attend the Zoom meeting at you home, but under present circumstances this may not be possible for you.

The university has been rolling out MS Teams across the Colleges and eventually this will be used instead of Zoom. There is a bit of a learning curve here but staff are becoming steadily more conversant with the MS Teams application.
