From this we have been running CPD courses which provide practical and robust training for industry professionals. 

Additionally, the role includes exploring and developing new training and educational opportunities. The candidate will immerse themselves in the ongoing research activities and outputs of CIHS, integrating key findings into training programmes. Responsibilities will include updating training content, ensuring existing material is current and embedded in the latest state of the art research and relevant regulatory requirements, managing the training team, overseeing training delivery and evaluation, and maintaining ongoing coordination with industry clients.
