Attention all radiography educators!
 Radiography educators are encouraged to put themselves forward for a three day leadership conference, hosted by the American Society of Radiological Technologists (ASRT).
The Leadership Academy for Educators (LAE) comprises a three day residential programme, held in Albuquerque, for approximately 20 selected educators who are at or near the beginning of their career in radiography education. It provides significant development and mentorship for those selected to participate.
Once again, the ASRT has reserved one place for a UK candidate, including accommodation and all LAE materials. The SoR will fund the awardee’s travel costs to a maximum of £500.
Christine Heales, a lecturer at the University of Exeter, was the 2005 recipient of the award. "It was a fantastic experience and I would urge all eligible radiography and radiotherapy educators to apply," she said. "The excellent programme gave me the tools to reflect upon and develop my leadership abilities." Read her full report here.
Applicants must submit a written 1000 word statement (mindful of the criteria given in Appendix 1) explaining why they feel they would benefit from the award, how they would disseminate their experiences and learning locally and nationally, and what they might hope to do as a result of the experience. You will also be prepared to write a report for consideration by the SCoR Research Group and a news item for Synergy News.
To register your interest for this programme please submit your written statement, provide your name, title, organisation, address and email address and contact phone number to Yvonne Reihill, deputy executive secretary, the Society of Radiographers, 207 Providence Square, London SE1 2EW. Telephone: 020 7740 7236.
Completed electronic statements must be returned to Yvonne Reihill by noon on January 17 2007 for consideration.
If you have any further questions please contact Audrey Paterson, director of professional policy at the Society of Radiographers.
