ALPS Professional, Statutory and Regulatory Bodies Seminar 2006
Working in Partnership:
ALPS and the Professional, Statutory & Regulatory Bodies
Wednesday 13 September 2006
University of Leeds
ALPS hosted the inaugural seminar of the Professional, Statutory and Regulatory Bodies (PSRBs) of the sixteen professional subjects involved with the ALPS programme. The aims of the seminar were to provide participants with the opportunity to:
develop understanding of the ALPS programme and its relationship with the PSRBs for professional regulation purposes
establish a spirit of partnership between the PSRBs and ALPS
identify strategies to work with PSRBs to take ALPS forward
identify potential barriers to implementing inter-professional assessment
identify preferred mechanisms, including effective communication, for future engagement
The seminar provided the opportunity to consult the PSRBs on the general direction of the ALPS programme of work. As a result of the consultation it was agreed that ALPS and the PSRBs would continue to consult in order to address the issues raised.
The seminar programme is shown below with the accompanying presentations.
