Thanks to all who have supported the Catalyse CPD programme by offering, delivering and attending CPD events we offer. Last year was a bit of a bumper year with ten workshops delivered. Just over half of these were in-person events, with four delivered online. One was even across continents!
We also stepped away from our usual Manchester venues for one of these. Simon Graham and CAT colleagues’ day on Integrating CAT for Complexity: a specialist NHS community service approach to working with people diagnosed with severe personality disorder and complex trauma in September 2025 took place in Liverpool at the team’s base. A snap here shows the team at the end of their well-received workshop.
2026 has seen a further three events delivered to date. Spaces are still available for the two-day introduction to CAT on 15/16 June. We’ll share details of more in the pipeline as soon as we can.
In the meantime, we’d like to check in with our local CAT community about your CPD needs. We’ve put together an online survey to ask about your interests and preferences. If you’d like to add your voice, we invite you to complete it (anonymously) by the end of May. The survey also asks about any obstacles to accessing CPD. If there are any events you yourself would like to consider offering through Catalyse. CPD Lead Jo Coggins will be pleased to hear your ideas and tell you more about practicalities and fees.
As a small organisation, we may not be able to meet all needs, and of course there are other providers of CAT CPD including regular offers from ICATA and ACAT. But your responses will help us consider and plan accordingly in our forthcoming CPD programme for the north.
Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts, and we look forward to hearing from you by the end of May.
