The Balint Society is extremely happy to invite you to our annual live event, the very longstanding Oxford Balint Weekend hosted at historic Corpus Christi College. It is taking place the weekend of the 26th September to the 28th of September 2025, from 6:00 pm on Friday the 26th till noon on Sunday the 28th.

It is a great event as a first introduction to Balint work, to participate in an ordinary group for your own practice, for further leadership training and to meet the Balint community. Our theme for the weekend is The relevance of Balint in a Digital World.

The Sligo Balint Symposium returns this autumn with a one-day event designed to offer doctors a rare space for reflection, regeneration, and reconnection with their work. It takes place on Thursday 7th November 2025 at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Sligo.

The symposium is open to GPs, psychiatrists, hospital doctors, and others in patient-facing roles who want to reflect more deeply on the consultation. For those feeling the strain of clinical life, the event offers a regenerative space — a chance to slow down, share experience, and reconnect with the human core of medicine.

Registration opens on Monday 16th June via: www.sligobalintsymposium.com
