Overview
This workshop is currently only available for institutional registration. Institutions interested in having this workshop delivered should contact curriculum@ukat.ac.uk for more information.
This interactive workshop offers “at elbow” guidance to help applicants make meaningful progress on their submissions. Designed as a catalyst for action, the day will give applicants the confidence and momentum to get started — and keep going.
Working within a supportive cohort, participants will connect with peers across their institution, building a community of applicants that extends beyond the workshop and fosters an ongoing network of encouragement.
Participants will gain:
• Expert insight into what assessors are looking for
• Practical strategies for structuring and approaching their application
• One-to-one feedback from an experienced assessor
• Top tips to help them complete their application successfully
By the end of the day, participants will leave with clarity, confidence, and a concrete plan to achieve professional recognition.
