Annual Residential Course
Some pictures of the this year's course
Despite its name the course is not now residential. This year it was held over two days in late April at Orton Hall in Peterborough.
The course is a good excuse to play silly games for a day and a bit (as well as practice some consultation skills).
Apart from the "team bulding" exercises we all participated in simulated consultations (with professional actors), learnt about different models of consultation and feedback (see below).
