CAIPE Symposium 2020 Evaluation
On Friday 27th November 2020, we held the first online CAIPE Symposium with the apt yet contentious title, Covid-19, a Gift or Challenge for IPE Educators and Practitioners?
The event was a huge success with presenters and delegates attending from around the globe.
The presentations demonstrated how the IPECP community is rising to the challenges, revealing creativity, agility, and resilience in adapting practices and developing innovative approaches in education, practice, and research.
The evaluation identified the majority of respondents thought the Symposium was very relevant. Opportunities for networking and gaining knowledge and insights were welcomed:
“The opportunity to discuss current challenges with like-minded people. The opportunity to hear about initiatives of others.”
“The break-out rooms were a really nice opportunity for networking and discussion.”
“a focus beyond healthcare” and “more of IPE translating to the workplace and practice”“Hopefully the next one will take place post Covid and it would be good to look at what we have learnt from Covid that we could learn from and embed.”
There are things that we can endeavour to improve when hosting future online events, for example:“Give more time for discussion in virtual spaces. By the time people had introduced themselves there was not enough time for a detailed discussion.”
Nevertheless, the benefits are summarised by one of the respondents as follows:
“The online nature of this symposium really helped me feel connected to other educators here in the UK and internationally.
I have already updated my colleagues on some of the points raised and findings presented, and they have also commented on how helpful this is.
I wish to thank CAIPE for making this event so flexible and accessible, what a huge achievement.”
Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all who were involved in making this, our first online Symposium, work so effectively.
