Join us in September for our next CPD event, The Divided Brain with Rosemary Langford-Bellaby.

We have all grown up with the knowledge that our brains are divided into two hemispheres – the left and the right. How often though might we question why? More importantly, are the commonly held answers to our question sufficient and even correct?

Rosemary Langford-Bellaby will guide us through the latest research into the divided brain, including the main contributor to the field – Iain McGilchrist. We will then look at the way this challenges us as a society, in our relationships with ourselves, with each other, with our views on culture, spirituality, and our environment. We conclude by considering the implications for ourselves as human beings and as clinicians.
