– Sick of travelling for education or not getting the appropriate education from your workplace? Want to feel inspired and re energised? Why not have your network group host a DRTA workshop- not part of a network group? Contact your neighboring services, managing directors, education officers, or simply your fellow colleagues to create interest and numbers. Then let us know and we can organize the speakers you want to hear from and target the training you need to learn. We are always happy to discuss this option if there is sufficient interest.
