April saw us hold two meetings; in York and Gomersal West Yorkshire. Both meetings were very well attended with us welcoming over 20 old and new faces at each. Particular thanks goes to everyone who pitched in and helped out in the kitchen with the tea, coffee and plating up Lynne's wonderful cakes ! Alan Pollard (a specialist rheumatology nurse from St Lukes hospital in Bradford) kindly attended the West Yorkshire meeting. He gave an interesting talk on research into the psychology of mind over body treatments such as placebos. Alan also mentioned the use of Mindfulness and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) to help with stress, anxiety and pain. For those who missed our talks on Mindfulness and CBT last year the presentation is still available here. Thanks to everyone who came along to both meetings. We hope that you found them useful and we'll see you again at a future meeting. |
