Wellbeing CPD – Tuesday 24th January 2023

22 January 2023

Hi all

Online Peer Discussion – Tuesday 24th January 2023 at 7:30pm, joint session with Essex LOC

“Transform your mind and life” – 3 interactive CPD points available

Following the success of the first session in October, which was significantly oversubscribed and received lots of positive feedback, we are pleased to be running a repeat session now.

It is open to anyone who did not attend the first session, either because they did not register last time, were not aware of it, or registered but were not offered a place. Any registrants who failed to attend last time and did not let us know in advance will be unlikely to secure a place this time.

The session includes:
What is wellbeing and why it’s important
Power of breathwork
Wheel of your life
Hacking hormones
Mindfulness and Communication

Presented by Sheena Tanna-Shah

This session will be funded by Herts LOC.

To reserve your place, please complete the form HERE

Spaces are limited so please respond as soon as possible.

A Zoom link will be sent to successful registrants before the event.

There are 3 interactive CPD points available but this does NOT count as a peer review.

Any queries, please email admin@HertsLOC.org.uk

Kind regards

Hertfordshire and Essex LOCs
