Professional Programme Forum

    The Professional Programme Forum aims to bring together those colleagues involved in professional programmes (namely in education, social work, nursing, midwifery, and medicine) and apprenticeship programmes. The forum also welcomes interest from departments and programmes that incorporate placement experience and work-based learning. 

      The forum provides a platform for sharing information and good practice, identifying issues specific to the professional programmes, and working with other University committees to arrive at joint solutions.

        The forum meets officially three times per year. 

            For all enquiries, please contact professional-programme-forum@york.ac.uk
