Introduction: What is a clinical audit and why as an International Medical Graduate should you care. As you settle into life as an international medical graduate in the UK or even as you prepare to join the UK workforce, you will come to realise that you are always expected to demonstrate that you have been involved in audits. There are two reasons, the first is that it improves patient care. The second reason is that it demonstrates your ability to work in a team. In this course, we will explain what a clinical audit is, how to get involved with audits and progress to leading them. We explain the basics of data collection and analysis. We explain how to get the evidence from your Trust once you have completed an audit. You will learn from the presentation template how to put your information together for a presentation in your Trust. Finally, we show you how to maximise the output from a single project and build up your portfolio (to learn more about building a portfolio, take the portfolio course).

Followed by a discussion on how behaviour can be addressed through introducing signing.

How does the brain produce dance? What is the impact of dance on the brain? In the workshops I provide the theory in a dynamic fashion, always applying it to practice promoting embodied cognition and equipping dancers with easy-to-apply techniques. In a fast-paced world where we are often disconnected from ourselves, my focus is to use the body as a tool of learning and give the what and the how in a practical and interesting way.

This is a course for everyone: non-dancers, dancers, health professionals, just anyone interested in knowling the benefits of dances at the psychological and neurological level. Part of this will be lecture and part of it will be practical with exercises that really tap and enchance those benefits. You will be able to take those movement techniques with you and apply to your day and practice.
