A case study of a project seeking to raise the profile and accessibility of advanced practitioners to staff as a means of driving quality improvements in teaching, learning and assessment across their organisations.
The partners worked together to raise the visibility of their APs by codesigning a ‘Meet your APs’ page which they each uploaded to their virtual learning environments (VLEs). The page contained pictures of each of the APs, their particular areas of expertise as well as something more unique and humorous about each of them that was aimed at engaging staff and breaking down barriers.
At Bournemouth and Poole College 21 staff self-referred to receive AP support. 90% of the staff who received such support found it beneficial. Increases were seen for the number of students achieving merits and distinctions compared to previous cohorts, and some benefit was attributed to other factors such as more stable staffing.
