Will Windsor
Educators SIG Lead
Welcome to the Educators Special Interest Group. You do not have to be an educator to join the group. The Educator SIG aims to offer support and guidance to perioperative practitioners and academic professionals regarding education and the development of staff and students. It is a platform to share knowledge, provide information, post questions, and provide peer support.
For those of you whose primary role is education, the group will provide access for you to network and share common issues and themes. It enables responses from fellow educators who can share their experiences and provide solutions to problems.
As practitioners, you are always involved in education and development, so if you have a passion for education, developing your staff, facilitating students, and creating a culture of learning the SIG can help you pursue your passion.
By posting queries on the chat or emailing the SIG Lead your queries can be addressed. We know that education enables us all to be empowered and influence practice as this forum aims to provide that information, knowledge and support through collaborative shared learning.
The SIG is looking forward to you joining us and being part of a group passionate about education.
