Working Independently within the Law 2010
As Independent Therapists this is an exciting and essential course to improve our understanding of the Legal System, Negligence Liability, Consent to Treatment and how we Document and Keep Our Records. In our working practice we must ensure we have this knowledge. This is your opportunity to come and learn what you need to know about the Legal System – be informed not fearful. One delegate who last attended this course said: “A MUST attend for all health professionals, not only independent practitioners. Brilliant speaker!” Another said “ESSENTIAL ATTENDENCE – will ensure that as a therapist you do not become complacent”. New to 2010: to also discuss the impact of Social Networking relating to the Data Protection Act & laws around privacy. Following our professional Code of Ethics must be adhered to at all times when portraying ourselves in the public arena.

Basic Coaching Skills for Therapists and Health Professionals
Coaching is a powerful approach to working with individuals and groups. It enables people to work towards what they want rather than what they don’t want. It is being fast recognised as the “missing link” in helping people to change health beliefs, raise self efficacy and develop sustainable plans. This day is aimed at independent practitioners who want to explore coaching and consider using it as part of their professional “tool kit”. It aims to provide some practical tools, hands-on practice and personal experience of coaching. It will show how coaching not only benefits our clients, but also supports our own personal and business development.

How to Develop Your Private Practice
A practical exploration of how to develop a private practice, perfectly suited for those fresh out of the NHS, or for those wanting to give an established practice a boost. For many, knowing how to market and operate a successful practice is a mystery – this course will give ready-to-use tips and thought-provoking exercises to help you grow your client list. Looking at the programme will give you a flavour of the course - including: marketing, communicating your 'brand', provision of resource information and you will leave the day having compiled a new action plan and with a course booklet. Any questions delegates have for James will be given to him prior to the course so he can answer each specific one; which he is more than happy to throughout the day. He prefers to have no more than 20 people so he can focus on everyones requirements, including looking at websites and business cards to offer general advice. After the course he offers each delegate 1/2 hour free consultation. Testimonial from previous course delegate “Excellent day to help people wanting to promote their practice/review current practice management.”
