Thanks @ukcge.bsky.social for organising a thought-provoking conference on creativity in professional & practice-based doctorates. I've met many engaging, friendly & supportive colleagues, and my head is full of new information! Great to present my paper on creative methodology.

CBHE has the potential to support lifelong learning, but greater funding, policy stability, and sector recognition are needed to maximise impact. Strengthening employer and university #partnerships could help enhance CBHE’s role in delivering high-quality, skills-focused education.
#tertiary #skills
Excited to share that I'll soon be presenting a paper based on my thesis! Looking forward to the upcoming event in London, where I'll celebrate #professionaldoctorates and connect with fellow professionals.

A2. It can be particularly challenging if a student has grown up believing they are not good enough, they're inferior, due to emotional abuse. They may not even want to look at feedback because of this. More understanding and support needed to help view feedback as positive for growth #LTHEchat
A2. Being able to receive feedback is an essential skill throughout life, particularly in the world of work. It can be taken personally, particularly if not delivered well or had bad experiences. Needs to be clear and constructive #LTHEchat

I've officially started my holiday!
Switching off isn't always easy for me. I get bored very easily!
