2. Useful updates from the MSDP Chair, SDF and Advance HE.
3. “Round Robin” of ‘gives and gets’ from those attending – sharing information and best practice.
4. “Top of the Mind” what are the key priorities for those present and how can others support them.

LUNCH

The after-lunch session will consist of one of the following:

• Sharing good practice on a given topic, for example, if an institution present has won an award, delivered a conference session or being recognised for good practice in a particular area.
• Staff development offered by a member of the group – for example if a member of the group has recently been trained in something new and would like to trial their new knowledge and skills on a friendly audience, or a member providing an update on a commonly used tool – e.g. Belbin or MBTI – where that member has recently attended ‘refresher’ training themselves.
• Staff development from an external provider – for example, a company or consultant wishing to showcase their training and willing to offer a free taster session to the group.
• Resources – a company or consultant wishing to showcase their product or services.
