I briefly described the roles I have had during my chartership period (getting around having to describe in the main report) and summarised CPD activities that have had the most impact. I also tried to reflect on what I've learnt over the 2.5 years since finishing my Masters. I'll happily share it with anyone who is interested - my report was accepted at the board on 15 September. Not blowing my own trumpet but I know how useful it was when others shared bits of their report with me. Now I'm not going to do a Gwynnie or SJP, but while I'm here, and before I bow off the list, thanks to everyone over the past couple of years. Advice shared on this list has been invaluable in my finishing the report, and no matter how trivial the question there's always a really helpful answer out there. So good luck to everyone in the process of writing up - hang in there, it is worth it, even if just to prove to yourself how good you really are.

It seems to me that there is a fair bit of overlap with the annotated contents page when it comes to discussing what I've included. Is anyone who has already submitted willing to share their introduction or offer some advice? Thanks a lot Jane Faux
