CPD Opportunities

At ARCH, we believe that our therapists should continually improve their knowledge and understanding of the industry, and keep abreast of the latest developments in techniques and technology. That’s why we insist on 30 hours of Continued Professional Development every year as part of our membership criteria.

To help our members achieve this, we host a range of CPD events, including our annual conference. We are also pleased to pass on details of other CPD events that we think may be relevant and interesting to our members.

 

Upcoming CPD events

 

Vagal Nerve Therapies - webinar

Dr Robert Silverman

"Your vagus nerve has significant effects on many physiological functions including your heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, fear and anxiety management, appetite and satiety, stress and relaxation responses, peristalsis and enteral secretions. If vagal tone (neural signal) is weak, this interferes with the brain’s main communication pathway with many organs, as well as increasing inflammation... Join us for an incisive 90-minute webinar with industry expert, Dr Robert Silverman, as he discusses how to navigate through this intricate neural pathway. Dr Silverman will share a leading-edge natural approach to improving your patients’ health through enhanced vagus nerve regulation and function."

The Digestive Tract Dissected - 13 May 2020 [To Be Rescheduled] at London Bridge

An unusual and memorable day of CPD!  A one day class specifically for Colonic Hydrotherapists

"Mixing a little theory review, with a dash of embryology and an afternoon of cadaver exploration!

• a whizz-through lecture on the basic anatomy of the digestive tract - 'the theory' before we get to the specimens (a useful reminder)
• a fascinating presentation from Barbara Webb, a senior lecturer at Kings, on the embryology of the digestive system so we can understand how everything got to where it is
• an afternoon in the dissection lab, the nub of the day, where you get the chance to see and feel, examine and explore real, pre-dissected structures of the digestive tract. Seeing them in true 3-d, in relationship to each other and at different depths of dissection, deepens your understanding in a way little else could, and with a little supportive theory the learning will stay with you.
• lots of opportunity to ask questions and clarify your understanding which cannot help but feed back into your work with clients."

The Fundamentals of SIBO - online

Nirala Jacobi

"Because small intestinal bowel overgrowth is such a tricky presentation we have a course dedicated to giving you a thorough understanding of what to do and when for these people. Essentially, SIBO is not really a specific condition. It is set of circumstances where organisms not typically resident in the small intestine, usually migrants from the colon, begin to proliferate there and cause symptoms."

"A rare opportunity to fully dissect the human form. Led by Julian Baker, one of the Europe’s leading experts on connective tissue function and dissection, this is a remarkable series of workshops. It will be open only to qualified bodyworkers and allied health professionals or those with a relevant qualification."

Intestinal Permeability Webinar - online

with Corene Humphreys ND, BHSc

"Intact gut functionality is critical to just about every condition you see, especially the chronic inflammatory diseases. To ensure you get reliable results we need to understand how the gut barrier actually works, how to accurately assess it and then when it’s not good, what to do to repair the dysfunctional barrier and/or absorptive function."
