Masterclasses

What is a masterclass and who can attend?

Attendees may include anyone with a genuine interest in the subject, but ideally, you will already know the basics so you can learn from listening to interesting discussions and questions from advanced practitioners. For some practitioners, masterclasses can be part of a pathway from entry level (as set out by HCPC) to becoming an enhanced or advanced level practitioner (as set out by NHS England).Illustration showing the four levels within the four pillars of practice (NHS England)

The aims of our masterclasses are for all attendees to learn from the knowledge and practice of the teacher, for less experienced practitioners to learn from the discussions between advanced practitioners, teacher and practice related Q&A, but most importantly for everyone to leave feeling inspired to progress their practice in the specific area.

What is the difference between our standard courses and our masterclasses?

The difference between our standard courses and our masterclasses is the setup. In a masterclass, everyone will have the opportunity to listen to the teacher’s feedback on examples of practice from advanced practitioners. The value of the masterclass setup is that all attendees can benefit from the teacher’s detailed feedback on examples of advanced practice.

After booking onto one of our masterclasses, advanced practitioners will be able to complete a form within the memberzone to submit brief examples of practice which illustrates specific topics they would like to explore further. The teacher will then review the topics and select a practice example to illustrate the emerging themes. Please note the form will close two months before the masterclass, therefore we highly recommend early booking so you can have your input. After the form closes, bookings will remain open until one week before the masterclass.
