EWI joins forces with Applied Psychology Solutions Ltd to extend training offer

byAnonym

WI is pleased to announce they have signed a new partnership with Applied Psychology Solutions Ltd to jointly deliver training aimed at those working within the medical profession.

 

Training and workshops will be aimed at both psychologists and also other experts interested in learning more about the psychological aspects of presentations within the medico-legal field.

 

The first full day training course, A Medico Legal (Personal Injury) Workshop for Psychologists, will be taking place on the 18th October 2019 in Birmingham. It is available at a special introductory price of £200 for members (£250 for non-members). 

 

EWI Chair, Sir Martin Spencer, said “We are extremely pleased to be working with Applied Psychology Solutions Ltd. This partnership will help us extend the reach and breadth of our training; providing focussed programmes of interest. We are looking forward to seeing how the partnership develops.”

 

Dr Kathryn Newns, Director of Applied Psychology Solutions Ltd said “This is an exciting opportunity for Applied Psychology Solutions Ltd. The courts require expert witnesses who have adequate knowledge, training and experience, and who maintain their continuing professional development. Partnering with the EWI provides us with opportunities to meet the rising demand for the provision of quality courses.  We look forward to developing further programmes to meet the needs of a range of experts, alongside the EWI.”

 

You can book on the course via the EWI website or by contacting the EWI office.
