Independent review work post retirement: the balance

In today's reviewer spotlight I talk to Hazel Chamberlain, a registered children's and adults nurse with over 40 years of safeguarding experience who has recently retired from the NHS to build her own independent review practice. In this Reviewer Spotlight conversation we discuss: Why she chose to formalise her practice through SILP training How flexible independent review work really is Why doing this work alone, without a network, is one of the hardest things about it. Whether you joined the 5 Day Training last week, dropped off halfway through, or knew nothing about it… There is one session that brings all the best elements into one. It's called The Independent Reviewer Immersion Workshop. It takes place online  on 23rd March from 1–2pm and is free to attend. In just one hour, you'll walk away knowing exactly what independent reviewing involves, whether your skills are transferable, and what the journey from blue light professional to independent reviewer actually looks like. There is no experience needed. No prior training required. Just bring your curiosity.
