Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

Workshops are delivered by leading clinicians across a range of therapeutic specialisms, and sessions may be used as proof of CPD towards re-accreditation. A CPD certificate is issued at the end of each workshop.

Our workshops offer rich and varied opportunities to deepen your expertise, to meet with local fellow practitioners and to discover new ideas to support your practice. They are usually held at the Friends’ Meeting House, 45 Northfield End, Henley, RG9 2JJ.  At present our workshops are being held online and we are closely monitoring and following the advice from Public Health England and aim to resume face to face events as soon as is safe.

We are closely monitoring and following the advice from Public Health England and aim to resume our planned Saturday CPD events as soon as is safe.
