This comprehensive two-day workshop is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the course and its practical applications, helping you confidently transition into practice.
Throughout the workshop, you’ll engage in a mix of theoretical lectures, practical demonstrations, and interactive discussions. You’ll gain an introduction to the College, meet the administrators, and explore the facilities, including clinics, equipment, and the local environment, helping you settle in before your 10-day practical session.
Why take an optional workshop?
The workshop will enable you to learn everything you want to know about the course and the occupation. You can familiarise yourself with the College, meet the team, and discover the relationship of the College to the accommodation, local shops, and car parking.
The Principal will lift the course ‘off the page’ with detailed explanations that cannot be conveyed by the course book alone. You will hear the words and terms that we use spoken and be introduced to the underlying concepts that inform the way we do things. An introduction to the clinics, equipment, and instruments that we use and how we work means fewer surprises when you come to do your practical.
The workshop will give you more confidence. You will gain greater understanding of the theory modules and feel more comfortable when you come to the clinical part of the course. You will meet fellow students just like yourself, and they just might be at the same stage as you are. Some use the workshop early in their course to learn where they are going, whilst others use it later as an enjoyable revision opportunity. Either way, it will have a positive effect upon your preparation to enter into practice.
This workshop offers personalized guidance and hands-on experience to ensure you’re well-prepared for the 10-day practical course. Whether you’re starting your journey or looking to revise before practice, this event will help you feel confident and ready to apply your knowledge in real-world settings.
