Details 
Using pre-recorded training, interactive on-line content (through Padlet), self-directed learning and live events, this substantial and comprehensive blended training course keeps delegates interested, engaged and learning new ways to bring excellence to their 24-hour postural care provision and focuses on the often neglected lying position and how unsupported lying drives changes to a person's body shape which impacts sitting, standing and functional movement. 
You will have access to the online learning from 4th November 2024 and be provided with all the information you will need to complete the course. At 1pm (GMT) on 4th November you will then join the trainers for an introductory event via Zoom to provide an outline of the training and to answer any questions you may have. Over the next few weeks you can access the pre-recorded training videos and interactive online content to enable you to complete the workbook. On 16th December there will be a series of live discussion events for the specific ages the course covers to assess your learning (you must attend at least one of these events - please see below for further information). 
Why? 
People with complex needs, deserve a thorough, co-ordinated 24-hour postural care service. We only get one body and yet people with complex disabilities don't always get the 'annual service' afforded the equipment they use.
Posture Positive report (2020) found training is a key aspect to developing resilient and robust 24-hour postural care for people with complex needs. Every person with complex needs or limited movement requires a comprehensive 24-hour postural care service delivered in a personalised way. 
Who? 
The course is suitable for specialist physiotherapists, specialist occupational therapists and other highly trained healthcare professionals working in health, SEN and social care. 
The course breaks down the life span of a person as follows:
0-3 years
Children and young people in education
Adults
Older people an palliative care
Each delegate selects the aspects of the course relevant to their particular area of practice whilst having access to all the course resources.
What? 
On completion of the course, it is hoped delegates will be equipped with the knowledge needed to deliver an outstanding, person-centred, 24-hour postural care service. 
This course covers: 
Why is postural care such a big deal?
What is 24-hour postural care?
Identification of need
Predictable changes to body shape
Preventing, protecting and reversing body shape distortion
Postural care in the real world with real people
Special considerations for all stages of life
Monitoring and evaluating outcomes
Co-production in developing personalised postural care
You can focus on one specific age group or take a general approach allowing you to adapt the course to meet your own learning objectives. 
On 16th December the final live review events with the trainers via Zoom are available for the specific ages that the course covers. You must attend at least one of these live discussion (the one most relevant to your practice) but you are welcome to join all four. Please note the timings are GMT.
10.30am - 11.30am 0-3 years
11.45am – 12.45pm Children in education
1.45pm - 2.45pm Adults
3.00pm - 4.00pm Older people and palliative care
Training for individuals and family carers
On successful completion of the course, all delegates will gain access to bespoke training materials designed by parents for parents of people with complex needs. This includes ongoing trainer support for local therapists hosting the workshops, pre-recorded training videos, workbook and designated webpage.

Peer supervision for clinical hypnotherapists offers several benefits that contribute to their professional growth and development. Here are some key advantages: Enhanced Reflective Practice:&nbsp;Peer supervision provides an opportunity for hypnotherapists to reflect on their own practice and gain insight into their strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. Through discussions with peers, they can explore different perspectives and approaches, deepening their understanding of their therapeutic work. Continuous Learning:&nbsp;Engaging in peer supervision allows hypnotherapists to expand their knowledge base by learning from the experiences and expertise of their peers. They can share innovative techniques, new research findings, and emerging trends in the field, fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional development. Emotional Support:&nbsp;The nature of clinical hypnotherapy can be emotionally demanding, and hypnotherapists may encounter challenging situations or difficult clients. Peer supervision provides a safe and supportive space for therapists to share their experiences, express their concerns, and receive emotional support from others who understand the unique demands of their work. Feedback and Validation:&nbsp;Peer supervision offers a valuable platform for receiving feedback and validation from fellow professionals. Colleagues can provide constructive criticism, offer fresh perspectives, and help identify blind spots or areas for improvement. This feedback helps hypnotherapists refine their skills and approaches, ultimately enhancing the quality of their clinical practice. Ethical Guidance:&nbsp;Ethical considerations are crucial in the field of hypnotherapy. Peer supervision provides an opportunity for hypnotherapists to discuss ethical dilemmas they may face and seek guidance from their peers. Collaborative discussions around ethical issues help hypnotherapists maintain professional standards and navigate complex situations. Networking and Collaboration:&nbsp;Engaging in peer supervision allows hypnotherapists to build a network of professional contacts. This network can lead to collaborative opportunities, referrals, and potential partnerships, enhancing their professional growth and expanding their practice. Professional Accountability:&nbsp;Peer supervision establishes a sense of accountability among hypnotherapists. When therapists know they will be discussing their work with peers, they are more likely to maintain high standards and engage in self-reflection to ensure the quality of their practice.

Advanced Phlebotomy - Skills & Techniques (GPT005)

Neuro EMDR is a recent development in how EMDR can be adapted to work with clients with brain injury and cognitive difficulties. A recent article published in EMDR quarterly by Hutchins &amp; Proudlock (2023) Reviewed the case study evidence base for using EMDR with clients who have sustained a mild traumatic brain injury - <a href="https://etq.emdrassociation.org.uk/paper/neuro-emdr-applying-emdr-therapy-with-clients-who-have-impaired-cognitive-abilities/" fr-original-style="" style="user-select: auto; font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: inherit;">https://etq.emdrassociation.org.uk/paper/neuro-emdr-applying-emdr-therapy-with-clients-who-have-impaired-cognitive-abilities/</a>&nbsp;In addition the approach has been used to treat PTSD in a client with Severe TBI (Hutchins, Simblett, 2024).&nbsp;&nbsp;There may be many clients we see in routine clinical practice who have sustained a mild brain injury or experience&nbsp;difficulties in their attention or memory. Dr Hutchins has further adapted EMDR to work with clients who have moderate to severe brain injury and he will illustrate this with a specific client video which demonstrates this. Learning outcomes will include:1. For participants to gain a basic understanding of neuro anatomy.2. For participants to gain an understanding of different cognitive domains and how these relate to the practice of EMDR and the adaptive information processing theory3. For participants to develop skills in cognitive rehabilitation strategies which are designed to help clients who have cognitive problems.4. For participants to learn how cognitive rehabilitation strategies can be used throughout the EMDR standard 8 phase protocol5. For participants to see how EMDR can be adapted to clients with moderate to severe brain injury through video material.6. For participants to consider cases that they are working with and to use an additional case formulation tool to aid in adaptation.The event has been awarded 6 CPD credits by the EMDR Association UK. The plan is for the event to be interactive and for plenty of time for discussion and case formulation/consideration of how Neuro EMDR may benefit their clients.T﻿he event will be recorded and it will be available for up to 45 days after it has taken place.&nbsp; Previous feedback from the course showed that, of those who responded, 100% believed that the quality was "Excellent" and that it would improve their clinical practice. A few direct quotes of feedback included:&nbsp; Thanks Jonathan for the brilliant course you did today. Everything was presented really well and thanks for being so generous with resources.

There may be many clients we see in routine clinical practice who have sustained a mild brain injury or experience difficulties in their attention or memory. Dr Hutchins has further adapted EMDR to work with clients who have moderate to severe brain injury and he will illustrate this with a specific client video which demonstrates this. Learning outcomes will include:
1. For participants to gain a basic understanding of neuro anatomy.
