SOUTH THAMES PSIGE GEOGRAPHICAL GROUP CONVENOR REPORT 2007
The South Thames region includes South London, Surrey, Kent and Sussex.
There are three training courses in our region; Surrey, Salomons and the
Institute of Psychiatry. There are currently over 70 PSIGE members in
the South Thames region.
We have had a change of convenor again this year. Helen Foster and Elizabeth
Field took over as co-convenors in March when Marina Palomo stood down
to go on maternity leave. Thank you to her for her hard work in keeping
things going after all the work of the conference. We have also said farewell
to several other committee members who had also worked hard in the committee
and in organising the 2006 conference. A big thank you to all those involved
including Tina Lakin from the BPS conference organising team. The conference
committee all worked incredibly hard and pulled together a very impressive
programme which was widely well received last year. As well as the departures
we have also welcomed several new committee members
This year South Thames PSIGE organised the following training events
Systemic thinking with Older People by Isabelle Ekdawi and Alison Milton
Non verbal approaches to working with Older People by Sarah Watts and
Michael Church
The regular Research Service Development and Training Day at Salomons
was cancelled in September 2006 due to conference fatigue.
South Thames PSIGE and Salomons ran a Clinical Neuropsychology with
Older People course in April to June 2007. This course was fully subscribed
and well received by attendees from all over the country.
In the upcoming year we hope to be back to organising the usual four
training events including Research Service Development and Training Day
in September at Salomons.
