Event Description

This one-day workshop is aimed those who are involved in partnership working in higher education. Senior Fellow, Rachel Hawley from the University of Lincoln will lead this workshop in collaboration with Kate Cuthbert, Higher Education Academy.

This workshop will provide an overview of existing approaches to public partnership in higher education, specifically; service user engagement in teaching and learning.  It will open discussion around the value of such partnerships and raise the questions about the possibilities of HEA recognition for service user contributions to higher education. Throughout the workshop there will be opportunities for you to reflect on your experiences of partnership working (as an academic or non-academic) and the value of this through story telling activities. You will be introduced to examples of the Professional Standards Framework applied to existing service user stories of engagement as a basis for exploration. We will ask the question of how this offers a potential for a unifying approach to recognition that reaches beyond academics to include service user contributions to Higher Education. The event will close with a wider conversation about possible next steps for making the UK Professional Standards Framework more widely accessible to individuals, building connectivity; academics, patient and public partners and student partners - working together.

Posted by Jill Anderson on October 26, 2020 at 19:00 0 Comments
