That’s surprising. A key concept for any health professional helping people with behaviour change and self-management. Thanks for spreading the message!

Are accelerated degrees the solution to higher education’s problems?
The idea of shortening the duration of degrees has always run into concerns about loss of intellectual depth or infringements on academics’ research time. But amid concerns about universities’ finance...

No. The big divide in Britain today is between the rich and the poor. Reform are on the side of the rich. Specifically, rich white English racists who hate the poor and the vulnerable and don’t think they deserve to have rights or public services or dignity.
The big divide in Britain today is between those who work and those who don't.

LTHEchat 360: Through the Prism: Illuminating Educational Impact with Brookfield’s Four Lenses
Join us on Bluesky for #LTHEchat on Wednesday 15th March at 8pm GMT with guest Danielle Hinton (@hintondm.bsky.social to discuss Brookfield’s Four Lenses! Introduction Educators in Higher Education often find it challenging to move from describing their teaching to articulating the impact of their decisions. This emerges repeatedly in postgraduate teaching qualifications, professional recognition (e.g., HEA Fellowship or National Teaching Fellowship), promotion cases, and peer observation.

Few things make be more annoyed within academia than academics acting with contempt for PS staff. It’s usually those who haven’t/don’t hold positions where the admin and responsibility would land otherwise on them and lack understanding of the experience and/professional knowledge held in PS.
