Dear colleague,
Welcome to the November issue of CPPD: What's New - outlining the latest courses and services offered by the Faculty of Health and Social Care Sciences.
We know that it's a busy time in the planning cycle for commissioning so we were pleased that so many of you could attend our commissioning event in January. It was great to hear your feedback and we look forward to working with you over the coming months. A big thank you to Laura Emson from NHS London for supporting the event.
If you are a current CPPD student, we would like to hear your views on how we can improve your learning experience. Feedback events are planned for 30 March and 4 May and if you are interested in taking part email us at cpdpo@sgul.kingston.ac.uk
In this issue our featured course is MSc Rehabilitation suitable for a wide range of professional groups. You'll also find details of our social enterprise seminar and research workshops which are new for 2011.
Best wishes,
The CPPD team

Featured course: MSc Rehabilitation
The MSc in Rehabilitation is designed for all professionals working in health and social care who would like to develop their practice at a higher level.
The course will help you to reflect critically on all aspects of your work, discover how policy and research impacts on services and develop specialist knowledge relevant to your area. The interprofessional nature of the course encourages you to learn and develop with students from a variety of professions bringing a fresh perspective to your day to day practice.
A number of modules are available to study individually:
- Critical practice in rehabilitation
- Life after stroke
