Oxford Balint Weekend 2024

Oxford Balint Weekend, Corpus Christi College: 4th to 6th October 2024

Balint and Fresh Perspectives

Come to Oxford to enjoy a weekend of Balint group work and hear about links with mentalisation 

Groups are made up of GPs and allied professionals, led by experienced leaders, and explore the psychological and emotional aspects of patient work. 

The following groups are offered:

• Ordinary Balint Group: these are for those with experience or no experience of Balint and for the more experienced leaders wishing to attend an ordinary group.
• Group Leaders Group: for those wishing to learn more about leadership or who are already on the accreditation pathway.
• Supervision Group: for accredited leaders if there is adequate interest and numbers.

Participation in the Group Leaders Workshop counts towards Leadership Accreditation.
