  4. Questions we’re addressing

  5. CSP activity to date

  6. Current unknowns • How will employers/physiotherapy services engage? • How will HEIs/physiotherapy teams engage? • What interest will there be from prospective apprentices? • How will each of the above align (e.g. in terms of fulfilling priorities/the financial model)?

  7. Current CSP particular focuses How we can best influence current developments to • Optimise the quality of the learning experience and outcomes, and confidence in this quality • Uphold education and professional standards, and therefore the quality of patient care • Enhance opportunities for workforce growth and development, including from a widening participation perspective • Support plans for implementation • Maintain coherence in physiotherapy education while engaging in innovation and enabling diversity

  8. Summary points Recognising the opportunities afforded for the profession’s development (including workforce expansion) Ensuring the responsiveness of the CSP’s approach to accreditation, while retaining rigour Increasing diversity, while maintaining consistency Encouraging different models of collaboration Seeking to ensure the profession doesn’t miss out on workforce development opportunities Engaging and linking with broader policy contexts Encouraging debate and collaboration within the profession
