  Apprenticeship Pathway to Leadership

  Join us for an insightful session focused on the experiences of apprenticeships in radiography education, where Ale and Tara will share their experiences and strategies for an effective apprenticeship workplace environment. @Keynote Sessions:@Alejandra’s Journey: Learning Radiography as an Apprentice Alejandra, a radiography apprentice, will share her personal experiences and challenges faced during her apprenticeship. She will discuss how on-the-job training has enhanced her understanding of radiographic techniques, patient care, and the importance of teamwork. Her story will highlight the benefits and practical aspects of learning radiography through an apprenticeship, providing valuable insights for both current and prospective apprentices.@Tara’s Insights: Supporting and Teaching an Apprentice in Practice Tara, a senior radiographer and mentor, will discuss her role in guiding and teaching apprentices in a clinical setting. She will delve into effective mentorship strategies, the importance of creating a supportive learning environment, and the impact of hands-on training. Tara’s session will offer practical tips for radiographers who are involved in apprentice training, emphasising the importance of patience, communication, and continuous feedback.@@

  Workshop 1: Developing in Practice Education Through Individual and Community Activity

  Practice Educators have a varied but critical role in the support of learners in the workplace at all levels of practice. This session will support you to surface some of the key capabilities required against a changeable and complex practice learning environment both individually and in groups. We will also review the College of Radiographers practice education accreditation scheme to champion the role and the importance of delivering high quality learning in practice environments.@Learning Outcomes of the Session:· Understand the semantics and scope of Practice Education against the Education and Career Framework· Explore the role and identity of a Practice Educator in an increasing changeable and complex environment using a VUCA model.· Identify ways to create communities of practice and sustain collegiality in Practice Education· Analyse Practice Education indicators of quality used by the CoR to embed and continue best practice in clinical and 4 pillar learning environments.

  Workshop 1: Understanding and Implementing Enhanced Level Practice in Radiography

  Enhanced level practice is nothing new in Radiography, as a community we have been developing roles, building on expertise and positively impacting on the patient pathway and experience for many decades.@@Recent developments in Education and Training has seen the publication of the Enhanced Level Practice Schema for Diagnostic and Therapeutic Radiography.@ This provides the opportunity for programme and module development to meet the requirements of the profession whilst aligning with the wider AHP family.To ensure positive implementation, there are a number of challenges to overcome, but many opportunities to inform workforce transformation in Radiography . This session socialises enhance level practice and allows further exploration of those challenges and opportunities through collaboration.@

  Decolonising the Curriculum

  The Undergraduate Diagnostic Radiography courses at LSBU applied the Decolonising The Curriculum Wheel framework (Ahmed-Landeryou 2023), to take a student and academic collaborative approach to curriculum transformation. This centralised the student voice within the decolonising process and listens to the experience of alumni in stakeholder meetings. Key areas that have undergone change so far include placement, academic modules, assessments, staff and students personal and professional development and admissions.Racial awarding gap (RAG) data is traditionally used to measure the success of decolonising. Decolonising is an opportunity to challenge traditional methods so should we be reliant on RAG data? Does it matter what degree classification our students exit with? Or should success be measured by students succeeding at first attempt, patient care, quality of work/images rather than RAG data?One year on from presenting this work as an 8-minute presentation at this conference in Nov 2023, we’d like to share the challenges faced, latest data, change in viewpoints. We are very much still on the decolonising wheel but are we going round in circles or making clear strides forwards?

  Workshop 2: Growing Educator Capacity and Capability

  Academic Educators play a crucial role in the development of the future of the imaging and oncology workforce. The workshop will support you to develop your own learning plan in tandem with other academics to strategically develop your capacity and capability. Through collegial discussion you will explore and define key themes and concepts which will be required by academics to deliver effective learning in both the short and medium term.@Learning Outcomes of the Session:· Identify and define the key concepts and priorities that will/could support educator capacity and capability in the short and medium term· Consider uni and multi-disciplinary approaches to increasing capability of the academic workforce, through sharing innovation and exploring possibilities.@· Identify barriers to the growth of educator capacity and capability using a VUCA grid· Explore collective possibilities through growing communities of practice and opportunities for involvement in activities to grow educator capability.@

  Workshop 1: How to Use Educational Research to Improve Teaching Practice

  This mastermind educational research workshop will take a 4-Point approach@ to developing and implementing educational research to improve teaching practice.4 Ps:Problem,Plan,Proof (theory, evidence, data or outputs),Put into practice@Using a real radiography educational research project as@ a case study the 4-point approach will be described. Important points for consideration at each stage of the 4-point process will be highlighted. Delegates will then use the mastermind group approach and the 4-point plan to develop and discuss an educational research project they would like to develop through a series of small group dicsussions. The project does not need to be well developed or defined before the workshop. Using@ the skills and expertise of the mastermind group delegates can leave the workshop with the basis of a educational research proposal that they can continue to refine and implement after the conference.
