CPD – Psychosis and the Other

We are delighted to welcome back Conor McCormack to our CPD programme; Conor will be leading a 2-part series (you may attend either one individually).

Taking place online on Saturdays 14^th and 21^st November 10:00 – 12:00

The NHS website helpfully tells us that psychosis is a state where people lose contact with reality. Unfortunately, the clinical copywriters omit any kind of definition of what reality is.
