BPC Trainee Day: working together for safe psychoanalytic therapy

Organised by:

The British Psychoanalytic Council

Description

Bookings close when spaces are all booked up, or on Thursday 19 February.

Working together for safe psychoanalytic therapy.

Having recently launched our new trainee membership, we’re pleased to announce our first BPC trainee event in over 5 years. This will be an excellent opportunity for our trainee members to get to know like-minded colleagues, the BPC team and Trustees, and hear more about what the BPC can offer during training and throughout their careers. Crucially, there will also be the chance to meet with other trainees from across the UK and examine together some of the very real ethical issues that the BPC work with.

It’s important to the BPC that we create opportunities for those entering the profession to meet and connect with the psychoanalytic community. We want to hear directly from trainees, as they are the future of the psychoanalytic profession.

Places are very limited for this event, so book yours soon. If you are unable to attend this event, we are currently planning further online and in person events for trainees. Let us know the type of thing you’d like to see from us in the future.

This event is open to BPC trainee members only. If you are on a BPC accredited training and would like to apply to join the BPC as a Trainee member, you can do so here. Membership includes access to a range of benefits such as learning resources, a digital subscription to our magazine and access to the BPC Trainee Hub.

£20 – If you are unable to attend the whole event, a small number of tickets are available to join the networking section only, from 13.50 to 15.00. This includes refreshments and a light sandwich lunch.
