Celia, So you know, we have an MED in Professional Practice at UCLan which is about developing the advanced critical practitioner. We have recently taken it through HEA accreditation as part of our CPD framework and have mapped it to all descriptors. If you are interested in more detail I am happy to share..

I thought you might find it useful to see a summary of the responses. Basically there is little available which would really meet the needs of my colleague, so perhaps she has identified a gap in the market, as Aileen Morris put it, maybe what is needed is something rather like the advanced driver course. The courses that were suggested by list members were: Masters in Academic Practice at King’s College, London. Ed.D programme at Northumbria Wonder if this is something that SEDA might want to consider, or a few of us work together cross institutions – any takers?
