I would like to take the opportunity to wish you all a happy, content and peaceful New Year and hope you had a chance to enjoy a restorative festive period.

Briefly looking back, I wanted to thank all of those who attended the Leadership conference on the 9^th December 2022. It was such a reflective and thought-provoking event, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive that I have started planning the ‘line-up’ for the theme of Change: ‘The culture of change vs changing cultures’ by challenging our understanding what it means to belong or fit into an organisation or profession. Feel free to pencil the 15^th December 2023 in for our next free online conference! 

Until then, the new year will surely bring its own challenges and opportunities and at BU we want to thrive to support our practice partners to face and be ready for what lies ahead. Our extensive CPD offer on the BA and MA pathways is as usual tailored to the needs of our students but we are keen to hear what else you would like us to develop. I would like to invite you to share your thoughts with us on this brief BU CPD Survey 2023 .

Of course you can always reach out to us and discuss any learning needs for your services or personal development Until then, I wish you a successful New Year!
