Dr Becky Dowson is delivering a workshop on literature searching and music therapy.

Detailed Description

This CPD event is aimed at music therapists who would like to know more about searching academic literature and finding the information they want. Perhaps you are working with a new client and you want to understand the most recent clinical research around their needs?

Whatever your area of interest, there is a lot of literature out there and the prospect of sifting through it to find what you need can be daunting.
