Workshop Presentations in Bournemouth, UK – June 28, 2017

“The chatter today has been about how good your workshop was and how we can make use of the diary and the skills… so you have left us all with good memories and lots of tools to support our work people who use the service. And, some weeks later I discovered that one of our patient participants has taken to diary writing like a duck to water and is using it daily to support her recovery….”

Dr. Ciarán Newell, Consultant Nurse Eating Disorders/Facilitator Research and Development at Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust

June Alexander will present two Workshops on the Diary at Bournemouth, UK, at the invitation of Dr Ciarán Newell, Consultant Nurse Eating Disorders/, Facilitator Research and Development, Dorset Healthcare Web: www.dorsethealthcare.nhs.uk

  • Using the diary as a ‘Get to Know Me’ tool — for patients and health practitioners
