Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction
An 8 week program of 20 hours of CPD commencing Sunday 11th February through to Sunday 31st March 2024 5:00 to 7:30pm
The program is exclusively taught by Dr Nick Penney PhD (Musculoskeletal Medicine) who has been practicing and teaching mindfulness for over 20 years. The program has previously been delivered as an RNZCGP accredited CME program.
The program is adapted from the standardised 8 week protocol and designed to help practitioners increase their knowledge whilst simultaneously taking better care of their mental and physical wellbeing. The program will introduce the rapidly growing evidence and neuroscience that underpins the practice of mindfulness.
Integrating psychological techniques into osteopathic care is becoming essential, as increasing numbers of patients present with complex biopsychosocial needs. In order to do this it is essential to learn, understand and practice the techniques for ourselves before we can teach them as part of our clinical care.
The course will also serve as a prerequisite to registration to learn how to teach this ‘3rd wave psychological intervention’ into clinical practice in late 2024 or in early 2025.
Numbers are strictly limited, places can be reserved by emailing Nick at drpenneyphd@icloud.com
Total cost including all resources is $1200.00 + GST. A $200 deposit is required to secure a place, and the balance invoiced in 2 instalments in February and March 2024.
