Sharing Good Practice webinar
Neurodiversity-affirming practice in healthcare science
Wednesday 25 November 2026 – 12pm to 12:30pm
Shirin Davies, a Clinical Scientist, will deliver a session to increase understanding of neurodiversity in the NHS workplace and explore practical ways to support neurodivergent staff to thrive rather than simply cope.
Based on the Neurodiversity-Affirming Care and Support Toolkit from Neurodiverse Connection, the session will introduce the SPACE Framework and signpost attendees to resources that can help create more inclusive, effective and supportive workplaces.
The reality of Good Scientific Practice
Thursday 3 December 2026 – 10:30am to 11am
This session will be delivered by Mark Minta, a Clinical Scientist and Senior Clinical Engineer. Mark will consider how the principles of Good Scientific Practice (GSP) build trust, shape our professional identity and ultimately support safe, effective patient care.
Good Scientific Practice is about more than meeting professional standards; it is about how we think, behave, and make decisions every day. This session explores what GSP looks like in practice, from taking responsibility and communicating effectively to navigating uncertainty, knowing when to ask for help and a commitment to continuous improvement.
Reflective practice through verbal dialogue: a case study from a Medical Physics STP
Wednesday 9 December 2026 – 10:30am to 11am
Deirbhile Sharkey, an STP trainee and Jonathan Cole, their STP Training Officer, will describe how they co-developed a technique for reflective practice through verbal dialogue. They found that this was not only straightforward and time-efficient, but also beneficial for both learning and reflecting on work practices within the wider department.
