Invitation to share experiences of the AHP educator career framework

Dear Members,

As part of the work that Beverley Durrant is leading for us on the Educator Workforce, she has secured a great opportunity for members to get involved with the next stage of development of the AHP Educator Career Framework.

Please see below for more information.

 RE: Invitation to share experiences of the AHP educator career framework

We are contacting you as you may already be using the Allied-Health-Professions-Educator-Framework.pdf (councilofdeans.org.uk) or attended the ‘Bringing the AHP Educator Career Framework Alive’ event in March 2024.  Whether you were there or not, you may like to be involved in the next steps of the framework development.

We are looking to conduct some short interviews to obtain people’s views and experiences of how they have used the AHP Educator Career Framework. This would involve participating in an interview that may take between 20-30 minutes via TEAMS at a time that will be negotiated with you but is likely to be in June 2024. 

It is very important to us that you have all the information you require about this project before you decide whether you wish to volunteer to participate.  Please do take some time to read the  participant information sheet and consent form below.

Consent_form AHPed v1 – 090424

Participant_Information AHPed v1 090424

If you have any questions (about this email or the attached information sheet) or are happy to proceed, please do reply with the completed consent form to any of the project team at Canterbury Christ Church University. If you are replying to agree to be contacted for an interview could you also indicate if you have used the AHP Educator Career Framework before and a brief description in what capacity.

  • John Hammond, Professor of Interprofessional Practice; john.hammond@canterbury.ac.uk
  • Nicole Hilburn, Senior Lecturer; nicole.hilburn@canterbury.ac.uk
  • Rupert Kerrell, Senior Lecturer; rupert.kerrell@canterbury.ac.uk
  •  Anne Martin, Senior Research Fellow; anne.martin@canterbury.ac.uk

We would appreciate it if you could respond to this request within the next two weeks.

We thank you in advance for your further support and look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes
The project team.
