The CPD

What could possibly be better than ticking off your CPD requirements AND having a ski trip at the same time?

The course has been designed to embrace a ‘relaxed’ approach to learning, focussed on small bite-sized elements throughout the day with a more focussed session each evening.

Evening seminars will be documented and organised to cover all of the core Osteopathy Practice Standards:

A. Communication and patient partnership
B. Knowledge, skills and performance
C. Safety and quality in practice
D. Professionalism

We aim to cover 10 hours of ‘Learning with others’ through seminars, peer discussions and case study reviews. A further 10 hours of ‘Learning by oneself’ will be accounted for through online resources, research papers and further reading.

All the CPD will be documented, recorded and accounted for, making it as simple as possible to update your own records.
