5 Key Challenges Understand the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of UK REPs success
How can online learning facilitate a better trained and qualified workforce underpinned by registration?
How do we build in quality assurance and independent validation of the route to registration to ensure public confidence?
How do we secure industry engagement and financial support?
The e learning platform and pilot registers must be sufficiently flexible to meet national variations.
