The PhD people appealed as it is a student friendly organisation which offers solid research and practice based advice and support and also responds to students' changing needs. The maintenance of established and continued lively development of new successful short interactive international online workshops supports students. Latterly the establishment of a group support programme means the participants are part of a collegial group and engage with ease, and can suggest what will suit their needs. When others ask me about this programme I emphasise the collegiality, dependability, high quality interactive sessions and support.
