We are thrilled and excited to announce we have moved from our beautiful basement spaces, upstairs to bright new, spacious rooms on the third floor. As Physis Scotland continues to grow, this allows us to offer more flexibility for our students, while staying in our fabulous location at 22 Drumsheugh Gardens, in the majestic West End of Edinburgh.
With two training rooms and two smaller break-out rooms, we can offer students space to work, reflect and collaborate. It also gives our Advanced Trainees based locally, the opportunity of meeting their clients in smaller, intimate rooms.
We are excited to welcome our first visitors this Friday 8th September, when Ronen Stilman TSTA, hosts our in-person Case Consultation workshop. We look forward to many more of you joining us in our new home over the next few weeks.
