Training
We can now offer a Training Programme "An Introduction to Tourette Syndrome".
The programme can be adapted to suit all audiences although we are especially keen to target, inform and educate those in the health, education and social professions. The programme consists of a Powerpoint Presentation, Q and A Session and a Delegate Pack. A session is approximately two hours but this can be adjusted to suit your needs. Cost - £250 min + travelling expenses and overnight accommodation if necessary.
