View Article  SAPC 2007
The 2007 SAPC Annual Conference held at Kensington Town Hall was once again a great opportunity to meet up with with colleagues old and new.  My presentation slot was scheduled for the first afternoon on Wednesday; it was good to get it done.  It went well and stopping antidepressant medication seems to be a topic of interest to others as well as to me.....  A copy of the presentation can be found on my website in the research outputs section.

The past 3 months have been barren weeks in terms of the PhD but I have not been idle!  Anything but.....my Nurse Prescribing course started in January and ended with the final exam last Tuesday and since April I have had to concentrate on writing my assignment and producing a portfolio of learning to include prescribing episodes, practice learning, consultation assessment, formative and summative assessments and reflections.  It has been a lengthy task but it has been worthwhile regarding clinical practice, not so much for the PhD though.

I have missed the PhD and am looking forward to getting 'stuck in' to the start of my data analysis this week.  I need to review the learning and course details re Framework from the NatCen course and get started on creating the Framework charts; hopefully I will have something to show by next weekend.  As always getting started is always the hardest thing; it is difficult to know what sort of time frame this is all going to take.....
