Date: 1 day event - 16 Feb 2012 from 10:30 until 16:00
This workshop is now closed
Introduction
Professionalism is an important issue across all of the health professions, including but not limited to nursing, midwifery, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, health professions including occupational health, social work, etc. The regulatory bodies expect higher education to recognise, teach and assess professionalism, which manifests itself in a range of behaviours.
The HPC is currently consulting on 'fitness to practice and registration' (http://www.hpc-uk.org/aboutus/consultations/index.asp?id=131), and the other regulatory bodies have focussed extensively on evidencing professionalism in the past.
This highly intereactive one day workshop features renowned international expert Professor Maxine Papadakis and UK colleagues facilitating discussion of what professionalism means in higher health care education, and how to evidence and promote it.
Aims
The workshop aims to:
- raise awareness of teaching 'professionalism' and 'fitness to practise' in health care programmes
