The 2020 NAEP conference takes place on Friday 24 April 2020, at The Studio in Birmingham.
The title of the conference is ‘Whose placement is it anyway?’, which aims to bring together different perspectives on the practice learning experience. We want to share good practice, and balance some of the tensions in practice education.
Interested presenters and delegates can find full information on registering, abstract submissions and keynotes on the NAEP conference 2020 web page.
The conference costs £98.00 (pre-registration students: £50.00), looking at how effective practice-based learning depends on collaborative working and the shared vision of enabling the future workforce to meet the evolving needs of the people who use our services.
This year’s conference aims to bring together different perspectives on the practice learning experience, and to share good practice in balancing some of the tensions in practice education arising from:
- Diversification of practice
- Diverse learners and service users
- Capacity and recruitment: service needs
- Expectations and experiences of new generation learners
- Service user expectations and expertise
- New models of learning
We welcome submissions for platform presentations (15 minutes max) or posters addressing any of the issues or themes above, with a focus on implications for practice-based learning.
Please see the conference flyer for suggested topics and ideas.
Keynote speaker: Dr Leslie Robinson
Dr Robinson trained as a Diagnostic Radiographer at Bradford between 1980 and 1983.
After 16 years specialising in CT and MRI in Leeds, Bradford, Saudi Arabia, Birmingham and Manchester, she moved into academia in 1999 and became a full-time lecturer at the University of Salford.
Dr Robinson’s presentation, ‘Changing Places: Educating for Patient and Public Partnerships’, uses the College of Radiographers’ Patient, Public and Practitioner Partnership (4P) document as an example of how partnership working might play out in practice.
During her time at Salford she was programme leader for undergraduate and post-graduate programmes, and completed a Doctorate of Education.
It will then consider how education can respond ensuring that students (and qualified staff) are partnership ready.
Her current research interests focus on exploring patient, public and practitioner partnerships for improving the quality of healthcare.
