How would you decide which higher qualification to take?
In each issue, Acuity poses a topical question to a panel of members.

Choose a subject that genuinely sparks interest – it’s key to making the learning process enjoyable. When you’re passionate about a topic, it doesn’t feel like a chore, and that enthusiasm can really help build confidence. As you master one subject, it boosts your skills, but also allows you to support others in the workplace, creating a positive feedback loop. It’s amazing how that initial spark of interest can lead to bigger achievements, whether it’s helping colleagues or gaining further higher qualifications. It’s worth checking too what support your practice offers in terms of funding.
