We were excited to welcome over 300 IPT UK members to our IPT UK online National Meeting hosted by IPT UK Joint IAPT Lead Ros Law and the London Region. The day was a fantastic CPD experience with two exceptional guest speakers, Kieran Rose and Jesse Owen.
This was the third IPT UK National Meeting held via Zoom and the day was very well received. Many IPT UK members were pro-active in tweeting about the meeting (please follow us @IPT_UK), as well as using the Zoom Chat and Mentimeter polls. The day was a combination of pre-recorded videos as well as live training. Members had the chance the socialise and discuss topics in the breakout rooms throughout the day.
