Dr Leslie Robinson has been confirmed as a keynote speaker at the NAEP conference 2020.
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.
The NAEP conference 2020 takes place Friday 24 April 2020, at The Studio in Birmingham.
