It seems that there are a number of institutions running similar schemes as well as lots of interest in developing peer led activity. Like Bournemouth, here at the University of Manchester we coordinate a very large PASS programme and last year trained 140 leaders to support first year students in a range of disciplines. We have been running PASS for more than a decade and are always keen to share good practice and exchange ideas. Some of you may know that for many years there was a UK/Ireland Supplemental Instruction network which met regularly and organised training and staff events as well as an annual student conference. The network linked to International practice and supported quality assurance of schemes through a certified trainer. Perhaps there is a need to establish regional networks? We would be happy to organise a meeting in Manchester if there is enough interest.
