Professional development workshops

NARI hosts online professional development workshops through the year on a range of issues affecting an older population. All workshops are interactive and based on the most up to date evidence based research. They are designed to equip the participant with skills and knowledge to directly apply to their own practice.

Upcoming professional development workshops are advertised here and by email. If you receive updates about NARI's education program please contact the Education Coordinator at NARI.
