Pensions Update Meeting - 1st November

Dear members,

Due to demand, Philippa has agreed to re-run the presentation Roger Brooks delivered on the proposed changes to the USS Pension scheme. This session will be delivered on 1st November 2010 at 12:30 and will be held in the Clifford Whitworth Conference Room. A light lunch will be provided, and the meeting will finish no later than 13:50.

Please be aware that this is not an EGM, and is simply an opportunity for those members who were unable to attend Roger’s presentation the first time around, or wish to discuss the pension issue further. No other items will be on the agenda. Philippa will highlight a number of areas where UCU considers the employers proposals to cause a greater detriment to pension prospects than members may realise.

Your committee will be in touch again shortly to advise on the date and time of the next EGM.

To all health educators in higher education

To all health educators in higher education

Health Educators’ Summit , Tuesday 30 November 2010, 1000 -1630, UCU headquarters, London.

UCU is organising the event in conjunction with the Royal College of Nurses , Royal College of Midwives, Chartered Institute of Physiotherapists and British Association of Occupational Therapists, with whom we have joint membership arrangements. Health educators working in higher education health faculties throughout the UK face a period of unprecedented turmoil and uncertainty as a result of healthcare workforce changes, NHS reforms including £20 billion in NHS cuts dressed up as ‘efficiency’ savings, and the looming prospect of huge higher education sector funding cuts.

The Summit is your opportunity to get the latest information and authoritative insights on the future delivery of healthcare and the potential implications for health professionals. Find out what the government’s NHS reforms could mean for your institution and how we can work together to defend health education provision in higher education.
