Practitioner Partner Hub

Access information, resources and key links as an RSVP Practitioner Partner.

This page will continue to evolve as we enter the next phase of the project, and develop and release more materials for the piloting activities.

May 2026 update: New resources available

Three further interventions have been added to the Resource Hub:

 

Our priority for these interventions is to receive facilitator feedback on the materials themselves. The interventions have been developed by specialists in their subject areas, and perspectives from supervisors or researcher developers will valuably inform the revisions we go on to make.

Practitioner Partners may use these materials to plan and deliver local pilot sessions with their supervisors if they wish, as with the Phase 1 interventions. However, we do anticipate that many of you will not have time or capacity to fully deliver local pilots within the time available, but may have the opportunity to review the interventions themselves, and this feedback will be very welcome.

Information about the Facilitator Resource Hub

All RSVP Practitioner Partners can access our professional development interventions for doctoral supervisors via the Facilitator Resource Hub. From the Hub, you can:

  • Browse and filter the interventions by various criteria, including the UKCGE Good Supervisory Practice Framework

  • Download everything you'll need to deliver each intervention, including Facilitator Manuals, slides, and additional resources

  • Read step-by-step guidance on how to participate in the piloting programme and provide feedback to RSVP​​

If you're accessing the Facilitator Resource Hub for the first time, you will be prompted to review and accept the Terms and Conditions for use of Pilot CPD Materials.
