respecting autonomy

PKSB and research
• Ethics and values
• Underpinning skills
• Research skills
• Research contexts
• Statistics
• Research ethics
• Generic skills
• Leadership and advocacy
• Strategic and operational 
planning

Challenges interpreting 
the PKSB
• Are the knowledge and skill 
areas appropriate?
• Can the knowledge and skill 
areas ever be nuanced enough?
• Other sectors and their 
professional bodies

My challenge to CILIP –
and to you!
• Demonstrate professional values
• Ethical scenarios and challenges 
for reflection
• Lack of high-quality research
• Use research to champion 
services, the profession and 
yourself
Thank you for coming along.
Any questions?
