We are promoting the idea of 'twinning' where practitioners can exchange colleges for a short period of time. This is a chance to share in each others good practice, problems and solutions and to network in your own subject area. There is funding available so if anyone would like to take advantage of this opportunity please get in touch as soon as possible.
I am having a meeting with Karen Adams, Education Projects Manager of NHS Education for Scotland regarding how we might be involved in the '18 Weeks Referral to Treatment' initiative. They have finalised the core skills map for administrative staff and are keen to involve and consult with Scotlands Colleges.
The Excel 2007 training took place last week and was another great success. All places were filled and there were cries of 'when is the Access and Powerpoint'.
We had another lively and informative subject networks meeting at Anniesland College last week where we were involved in a focus group for the e-assessment Steering Group. As well as having updates of our progress and getting the latest news for our sectors we also discussed another important event - the mentors' end of year night out!
On a sadder note the College are not allowing me to continue as Subject Mentor next year so this may well be my penultimate post. In the meantime I'll continue to keep you up-to-date and help where I can. Keep the emails coming.
