EDINBURGH LOCAL GROUP MEETING AND SCOTTISH MEETING TO DISCUSS
CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Discussion led by
Mary Smalls
Head of Statistics, ISD, NHS in Scotland, Edinburgh
As a statistician working in the 21st Century, it will be an
increasing challenge to keep up-to-date. The RSS is currently
considering its role in Continuing Professional Development (CPD), and
is consulting the Fellowship, including a series of Regional Meetings.
Mary Smalls, a member of the CPD working group, will give a short
background presentation. This will be followed by a contribution from
David Leslie, who is the CPD representative on the Edinburgh British
Computer Society's committee, and by a general discussion with fellows
present. A report on the meeting will be prepared for the working
party. All participants should read the CPD discussion document which
came in September's RSS News and is available from Jill Sales.
Tuesday 12 October 1999 at 1800 hours, Lecture Room H9, Napier
University, Merchiston Campus, 10 Colinton Road, Edinburgh
Non-members welcome
Group Secretary: Jill Sales, School of Mathematical and Physical
Sciences, Napier University, 10 Colinton Road, Edinburgh EH10 5DT.
