Cohort 1: PGDip Update
The academic year for the PGDip began on the 12 September 2024 with an online welcome event. The event was well attended and the participants were enthusiastic to start the diploma year of the programme.
Welcome Executive Sponsors to Year 2
To assist executive sponsors as they support participants progress into Year 2 of the programme, a 30-minute lunchtime webinar was held on the 19 September 2024.
The session provided an opportunity for Executive Sponsors to connect with peers, gain insight into the upcoming Year 2 courses, and explore how they can work collaboratively with participants to maximise the value and impact of the programme.
Learning and Network Event
The Inaugural Cohort 1 and Cohort 2 joint Learning and Network Event took place on 27 February 2025.
Opening remarks were provided by Christine McLaughlin, Co-Director of Population Health at the Scottish Government, and Nicola Dickie, Director of People Policy at COSLA.
The event was well attended, with participants from both Cohort 1 and Cohort 2 coming together to share, learn, and connect.
Ongoing Engagement
As part of our commitment to continuous improvement and meaningful engagement, we host online Open Forums for both current participants and alumni.
These forums provide a space for open dialogue, feedback, and shared learning which helps promote a sense of community while supporting ongoing evaluation and shaping the future development of the programme.
