Gaining accredited HEA (Advance HE) fellowship requires successful engagement with the written reflection process and the UK Professional Standards Framework. Local pathways to accreditation may help to facilitate this by providing a bridge between discipline-specific practice pedagogic CPD and literature and the reflective process. The Edinburgh Teaching Award offers local (within School) mentoring discipline-specific CPD and supported reflection to align an application with the UKPSF. A longitudinal (>3 years) qualitative evaluation has identified associated motivators barriers benefits and challenges amongst participants. This scheme has achieved voluntary academic engagement levels of >55% and may be of interest to other institutions.
