Summary

All existing mentors working with Monitored Professional Development Schemes (MPDS) are encouraged to attend one of these regional seminars to develop their awareness, reinforce their understanding of the role of MPDS and update their mentoring skills.

The seminars are a great networking event for mentors, HR and training staff alike, providing an excellent opportunity for the exchange of ideas and to develop best practice and are delivered by the Institution’s Professional Development Consultants. The syndicate work involved will help you put these ideas into action in the workplace.
