Prof Joanne Hudson FBASES appointed to the CIMSPA Sport and Physical Activity Workforce Observatory Board

BASES is pleased to announce that Prof Joanne Hudson FBASES, Professor of Sport and Exercise Sciences at Swansea University, has been appointed onto the CIMSPA Sport and Physical Activity Workforce Observatory Board.

CIMSPA, the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity has recently established an advisory board to support the creation and development of the Sport and Physical Activity Workforce Observatory which will deliver authoritative insight and foresight by leading the curation of intelligence, data trends and future modelling to support data-driven workforce planning, development and management.

The Workforce Observatory will draw together the excellent base of academics and system partner data specialists who already publish research into workforce development for the sport and physical activity sector. By creating a community of these academics and specialists and a central repository for research, the Observatory aims to encourage greater collaboration and streamline the translation of research into operational practice, enabling employers, deployers and policy makers to make more informed decisions for the benefit of the sector workforce and participants. The advisory board will shape the direction and development of the Sport and Physical Activity Workforce Observatory, which is being created with support from Innovate UK.

We congratulate Prof Hudson on her appointment.
