Dr Muir and Dr Gillott will continue to provide expertise and delivery to SCiHPS III through the extension of the programme. SCiHPS cohort IV, reaching and supporting more individuals across the LA cycle. The programme architecture, scheduling, and intervention strategies are predicated on a belief that practitioners' learning and development may be accelerated by frequent and varied opportunities to put ideas to work, access to timely feedback that can be used, and the introduction of supporting concepts and ideas when they are needed most. SCiHPS is designed around a work-related, integrated curriculum: the programme components integrate with each other, and the hands-on work of the coach development practitioner: the 'day-to-day' is learning and development when integrated in this way.
