SDS Training Events

Seminars

SDS Seminars are large one-day events for a broad range of specialists from the caring professions. Stimulating, thought provoking, challenging and always practical - they provide a lot of opportunities for learning new techniques, asking questions, discussing difficulties and networking.

Copies of the PowerPoint presentation are provided on a free CD-ROM, along with re-usable worksheets, evidence-based reference lists and comprehensive further reading and resourse lists. There is no need to take lots of notes which gives you time to concentrate on the subject and participate in the discussion. All the above combined with video demonstrations and pair exercises make SDS seminars unique and memorable learning events.

Suitable for CPD and PREP. Certificate of Attendance provided at the end of the course.
