An invitation to a new peer consultation group in Melbourne

MELBOURNE NEUROPSYCHOLOGY PEER CONSULTATION GROUP

Neuropsychologists based all around Melbourne are encouraged to attend this newly formed peer consultation group. All neuropsychologists are welcome regardless of geographic location or specialty. Neuropsychologists who do not have access to peer consultation through their workplace are particularly encouraged to join (e.g. those in private practice, those new to the profession, those not currently working in a clinical role).

The key priorities of the group are to provide:

a) an open case conference opportunity;

b) a neutral space to discuss work related issues (e.g. ethical concerns, non-client issues);

c) an opportunity to discuss new tools and to share resources;

d) a networking opportunity.

Bedrija and I suggest that the group should meet regularly every 6-8 weeks from 6:30 to 7:30 on a weeknight at an agreed upon location. However, we will also encourage members to meet in smaller groups of 2 or 3 for more regular peer supervision with others located nearer to them. We intend the content and structure to be group driven and are open to suggestions/recommendations for improvement.

NEXT GROUP MEETING: 6:30 - 7:30 Thursday 4 July, Richmond (exact location TBA).
