No time for my planned, longer post on a Peer Review appeal outcome (more gloomy news I’m afraid) as I am off to Manchester for the NW Legal Services Conference. 20 lucky punters get 45 mins of me on “Audits” mid afternoon. And it is optional!!

I never quite trust evaluation feedback on training courses. Even if you think it is a good course which has gone well you remain suspicious that it is similar to the polite praise for a meal one receives from a house guest. Vanity however encourages acceptance and these therefore appear to be pretty good courses. […]
Getting better at the technical side of blogging so here is a picture of our shouting venue this Wednesday taken on my shiny new phone. With hindsight it might have been a somewhat risky setting for the depressing message many perceive the Carter proposals to be. We did a full head count at the end […]
We can now confirm the final details for the Preferred Supplier and Peer Review training tour. Initially we intended just to do the latter however when the PSS consultation hit desks we thought it made sense to cram a briefing in on the mornings at the same venue. We have as promised added a London […]
Slightly later than originally promised, due to the intervention of the Carter proposals, we are about to tour an updated version of our Peer Review course. The course – Are you Competent: A Guide to Peer Review – grapples with the requirements of this largely unnoticed addition to the assessment process. This is an issue […]
Off shouting at people in exchange for cash again. This current “product” – look at a sample of closed files and build the findings into our “Are you Competent: A Guide to Peer Review” course is currently selling like hot cakes. What is clear is that even those procuring the course (to use the word […]
Our mini training tour starts today. Places still available.
I am away training today – “CDS Masterclass”. This remains our most popular course; a root and branch examination of the world of CDS billing and cost assessment guidance. It is a session which always finds its own level, from good basic training for new comers to CDS reporting through to more arcane discussion of […]
A very talkative North East audience for the first date of the tour. Unusually everyone was quite open about current difficulties with the LSC especially regarding the “top 10%” club. If today’s crowd were in any way representative it is significantly more than the top 10% who are facing an inquisition regarding PACE costs. The […]
The Autumn training tour begins today on home turf in Gateshead, we get move further afield in the next two weeks. I’m covering the current regulatory framework, especially the auditing and assessment techniques in operation. Rodney Warren is dealing with the grander political stage. Will let you know how it goes tomorrow. Places are still […]
