Thank you for teaching on our remotely enhanced APEx course. As we are all well aware, the
impact of COVID-19 has been particularly heavy on training, and so the APEx working group, with support from ALSG, have been adapting the course for remote delivery.
Our aim is to enable our
colleagues to fulfil their CPD requirements by making training more accessible
during this time. We also want to make it easier for you to instruct on our courses by reducing the amount of time you are physically teaching. But while doing all of this it has been essential to use that we keep learning at the heart of all elements of the programme.
The remote day will be remote streamed and has been structured to encourage questions, engagement and involvement from the candidates through breakout discussions, polls and interactive lectures. To enhance the learning, we have asked candidates to
bring with them, a case study which they will lead on, and will form the basis of a 5 minute discussion. This will enable them to make connections between their learning through the programme and their personal experience of dealing with acute psychiatric emergencies.
I am available should you wish to talk through any of the elements in more detail or just want some extra support teaching in this way. My email address is kdenning@alsg.org so please drop me a note.
