Writing Weekend

  • This course focuses on reflective writing.
  • Facilitated by Gillie Bolton ? immensely skilful but quite unthreatening in her style. Gillie is not a medic, but has extensive experience of teaching reflective writing to health professionals. She is widely published in this field (see www.gilliebolton.com), and as a poet. She is also great fun!
  • No previous experience necessary (a blank canvas is the ideal starting point). Previous courses have benefited from a mix of returnees and newcomers.
  • A different way of exploring how we work.
  • A way of reflecting on our work that appraisal does not achieve.
  • Something much more enjoyable than nGMS and definitely worth adding to your PDP.
  • Enjoy the tranquil surroundings of the ancient Leiston Abbey and surrounding Benjamin Britten countryside. Walk to the coast if weather permits...
  • Excellent food and a chance to relax and celebrate our 'non-medical' side.
  • Saturday evening is delightfully unstructured and mellow - spent around the log fire and grand piano.  In previous years participants have brought favourite readings, poems, music/musical instruments to share, or simply enjoyed listening to others.
  • The substance of the course commences on Saturday morning - but buffet and accommodation provided on Friday evening at no extra charge (a lovely wind down from the week).  THIS IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
  • Course finishes after lunch on Sunday.
  • Places limited to 24 participants
  • Non-returnable deposit of £20 secures place; balance payable by end Sept.
