BIOS Launch PERL to support clinical placements
Rich Huzzey2021-10-26T13:14:44+01:00Today we launched the Placement Expansion Resource Library (PERL), a bespoke portal of resources, allowing students to gain confidence and expertise in clinical decision making, despite clinical placement limitations. PERL will support orthoptic students whose placements have been disrupted by COVID and facilitate the roll-out of virtual placements well into the future. It will also be accessible to BIOS members to use for their own learning, or to support inter-professional teaching. PERL is the result of a successful bid to Health Education England’s (HEE) Clinical Expansion Fund, for £90,000, to restart and grow the provision of clinical placements. This enabled [...]

AHPF Funded Places on Future Leaders Programme
Rich Huzzey2021-10-08T14:11:43+01:00Professional associations are led (governed) through formal structures made up of members and non- members who provide strategic leadership and direction for our organisations and the professions we represent. It is widely recognised that diversity at the most senior levels of organisations helps improve the way they are run and managed. Increasing diversity within the governance of our professional associations (i.e. our Board/ Council and Committee structures) is essential for boards to stay informed and responsive and to navigate the fast-paced and complex changes facing the association sector. Boards whose members have different backgrounds and experience are more likely to encourage [...]
