NEW
PRACTITIONERS
As
a new initiative last year, the Advocacy and Ethics Courses
for New Practitioners was combined and will be repeated over
a single weekend in future.
This
meant that there was many more CPD hours available than normal
with Case Analysis on the Friday during a working supper, a
very full day on Saturday, dinner and a 9am start on Sunday.
Hopefully this will help NPs to get all their compulsory Advocacy
and Ethics hours as well as some extra time to count towards
CPD requirements.
Please
e.mail the Circuit office on
gillrichards@westerncircuit.co.uk for your place.
State
whether you wish to do the crime course or the civil course.
Please
be advised that there will be pre-course work which will be
e.mailed to you.
