Concussion Awareness under the microscope at our conference

We’re delighted to confirm that Dr Simon Kemp, Head of Sports Medicine at the Rugby Football Union, will be delivering a case study.

The case study will cover the Concussion Awareness module which we created with the RFU, Premiership Rugby and the Rugby Players’ Association.

We’re really proud of the course, which has been rolled out across all levels of professional rugby as part of a campaign to raise concussion awareness amongst everyone who takes part in the sport.

We think it’s an excellent example of the potential for eLearning in delivering information to wide ranges of learners, and Dr Kemp will be discussing in detail the challenges faced, the solution, and the results.

The addition of Dr Kemp finalises the agenda for the conference, which also features seminars with compliance experts and workshops with staff.

We designed the day to help you to maximise the benefit of eLearning to your business and to give you the chance to give us valuable feedback on our products and services.

The post CPD era is here!

The SRA released the latest version of its handbook on 1 April 2015. Among the important changes is the final Competence Statement, which is the cornerstone of the new approach to CPD and can be adopted starting today.

The new approach will be implemented for all solicitors from 1 November 2016. However, solicitors can choose to move to this new approach today (for 2015), or on 1 November 2015 (for 2016).

Where can you go for guidance on the new approach?

The SRA has also published a toolkit with detailed recommendations for compliance with the new scheme. The recommended process is as follows:

Here at VinciWorks we are putting the final touches on a platform to streamline your transition to the new framework. It will be built into our Learning Management System. We’d love to hear from you what your thoughts and plans are for the new CPD scheme. Recommendations that we hear now will be considered for the final product.
