Noticeboard
IOL wish to support and encourage the training and development of all practitioners in the Southern region. One of the many ways we can do this is by helping centres to fill spaces on their in-house training programmes, such as BCU training, by advertising on this region website (see also the IOL national courses/events webpage)
If you have any training courses coming up in the new year for which you would like us to help fill the spaces then please email the general regions email below. This will then be forwarded to the Chair who will contact you to discuss further before putting on the website.
If there are any other ways that we can support your training and development needs please do not hesitate to let us know.
