Hot Off the Press
As the new academic year begins, all the team at Physis Scotland have been so thrilled to welcome our students back. For some year groups, their first weekend has been online and for others, we have had the absolute pleasure of meeting back at Drumsheugh Gardens in the beautiful West End of Edinburgh.
Managing our way through this ‘new normal’, we are facilitating the weekends, ensuring all year groups have the opportunity for both online and in-person learning during this next period (subject to any changes in guidelines from the Scottish Government).
We appreciate learning either online or face-to-face presents us all with benefits and challenges. Any of our students with thoughts or concerns, please check in with your tutor.
We wish all our students a stimulating, thought-provoking and successful year.
The Library
As trainers, we are passionate about stretching our understanding and knowledge of transactional analysis, theories and practical applications. We always encourage students to read widely around the topics and when visiting Drumsheugh Gardens, invite you to browse our updated and extensive library. Thanks to one of our students Kevin and our Directors Fi, Jennie and Sheila for the ongoing hard work in cataloguing… it is has been a bigger role than we thought!
