Continuing professional development
We offer a broad range of short courses and events, delivering high-quality continuing professional development
Running throughout the year, our short CPD courses and events support professionals who seek to continuously learn, grow and be challenged – providing highly current, applicable training which has an immediate impact on your work. Spanning a wide range of subject areas, each course is designed to deepen understanding, enhance skills and build connections. Plus, with many of our courses being delivered online, you’ll have the opportunity to engage with a diverse community of participants from across the globe.
What we teach
We’ve split our courses by population – who you work with – so you’ll find separate areas for professionals working with adults; with children, young people and families; in social work and social care; in management, leadership and consultancy; in perinatal mental health; and in mental health nursing.
Adult mental health
Our short courses will appeal to a broad range of practitioners in psychiatry, psychology, nursing and social work and focus on working with couples, families and young adults
Working with children, young people and families
Our short courses in this area will develop your capacity for skillful intervention, give you a deeper understanding of the complex difficulties children and families experience and build up your ability for critical reflection and resilience
Social work and social care
Our social work and social care short courses offer experienced social workers the stimulating environment and support to develop their practice
Leadership and management
Our leadership and management short courses build on the early work of the Tavistock Clinic and the ideas of Wilfred Bion and Melanie Klein
Perinatal mental health
Our perinatal courses are built to ensure that women and birthing people meet professionals across the whole perinatal mental health care pathway who have the skills to identify, treat and manage their conditions effectively
Mental health nursing
Our courses for mental health nurses reflect the skills and awareness required to provide responsive, attuned care to patients, to support nurses in reflecting on the impact of work and implementing change
