ICrA Health Talk Series
Patients expect practitioners, no matter their discipline, to be conversant with chronic health conditions, medical controversies and different therapeutic approaches. When receiving referrals from or making referrals to other healthcare professionals, it is important to be conversant with biomedical and a wide range of therapeutic models. For this reason, the ICrA is offering talks every two months in 2025 on the theme of 'Managing Chronic Conditions'.
The sixth series of Health talks began in January 2025. The cost to ICrA members of attending the whole of series of talks is £100 or £25 for each talk. Attendance certificates will be issued. Talks will be recorded for those that may be unable to attend. Please let Brian know on brianeisbell@gmail.com if you are interested in attending any of the talks.
