Uncategorised, , , , ,

Provisional details of our celebratory 25 years conference on 17 May 2019 are now available and booking is open.  We’re looking ahead to May and already imagining the leafy surrounds of our venue, Chancellors Hotel and Conference Centre in Manchester’s spring sunshine.  Some beech leaves have even crept onto the flyer describing what’s included on the day.  You can download the provisional outline from the event page here. 

Thanks to all the many colleagues who have offered to present, sharing how they have developed CAT in their practice and services since training with us as CAT Practitioners.  Organisers Mark Evans and Dawn Bennett are busy pinning down finer details of workshops, keynote presentations, posters and more.  We will announce more of the content in the weeks ahead.

We hope you will join the course team alongside many colleagues across the North and  beyond for a full and stimulating day.  We also invite you to stay for the evening which includes a drinks reception, evening meal and entertainments.
