Speak Out August 2021

IN PRACTICE

National office staff have been investigating ways of engaging with and supporting members working in private practice during the past 12 months when it has been difficult to conduct in-person events. Earlier this year Private Practice and Ethics Collaboratives were launched to provide timely information and supports about key issues. These events are low cost (or free) and run up to a maximum of 1 ½ hours. They typically include time for a question and answer discussion. All collaborative presentations are recorded and are made available on SPA’s Learning Hub . Guild Insurance have kindly sponsored the Private Practice Collaboratives so they can be run at low or no cost for members. Below is a list of planned collaboratives for 2021 and links to recorded collaboratives. The Professional Practice and Ethics Teams are always happy to hear from members around key issues and topics you would like us to consider discussing in a collaborative event so please do contact us with any suggestions. We look forward to seeing you at our next event! 2021 Collaboratives professional practice & ethics
