Group 4 meets from 1pm to 5pm on three days

Format

The groups are literature based generating a wide range of discussion. Whereas on the year course specific topics with associated reading are studied on each session, for these study groups a wider range of literature is discussed on each session.

The topics discussed are very diverse ranging for example from adhesion to life management. The diversity of group members means that there is much stimulating input from participants.

There are also case presentations for general discussion. Outside speakers are invited to present for one to one and a half hours at each session.
