Workshops
MPS is committed to Education and Risk Management: we have therefore developed a portfolio of communications and risk management courses and workshops which are designed to respond to the needs of health professionals at each stage of their careers.
Our workshops are expertly facilitated, using a blend of presentations, small group discussions, care studies, reflective exercises and opportunities to rehearse skills. To ensure optimum interactions, group size is limited to 24 participants per workshop.
All of our facilitators are general practitioners, consultants or clinicians who have undergone formal training with MPS. Where possible and applicable, our workshops qualify for Continuing Professional Development (CPD)/Continuing Medical Education (CME) accreditation.
Please note: For workshops with online booking available, we have introduced a new online booking system. On first use, you will be asked to register your desired user name and password and complete a booking form. A user account will then be created for you, which will enable you to make future bookings without the need to re-enter this information. This system has been introduced to make the booking process more efficient for you.
