Abstract

This presentation provided an overview and enabled discussion about a qualitative, multi-case study research project in its early stages. The research is set within the context of contemporary UK Higher Eduction policy and focuses on developing an understanding of the influences on and conceptions of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in academia. The presenter proposed three levels of potential influence on academics’ CPD practices: the national policy context; the local organisational policy and cultural context.
