Dear friends, Two Indian Supreme Court judges just decided that gay sex is illegal. ILLEGAL!! But if we act fast we can help reverse this crazy backwards ruling.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4EDhdAHrOg One of our Programme Directors loves this clip. He writes… The serious point is that we don’t always need to solve problems and that being empathetic can be enough on it’s own. I heard empathy is the single most effective CBT intervention (can’t quote the evidence however).

A Japanese warrior was arrested by his enemies and thrown in a prison cell. At night he could not sleep as he was convinced that he would be cruelly tortured the next day. Then the words of his Zen Master came to mind: “Tomorrow is not real. The only reality is the present.” So he

Bradford VTS was created by Dr. Ramesh Mehay, a Programme Director for Bradford GP Training Scheme back in 2001. Over the years, it has seen many permutations. At the time, there were very few resources for GP trainees and their trainers so Bradford decided to create one FOR EVERYONE.
So, we see Bradford VTS as the INDEPENDENT vocational training scheme website providing a wealth of free medical resources for GP trainees, their trainers and TPDs everywhere and anywhere. We also welcome other health professionals – as we know the site is used by both those qualified and in training – such as Associate Physicians, ANPs, Medical & Nursing Students.
Our fundamental belief is to openly and freely share knowledge to help learn and develop with each other. Feel free to use the information – as long as it is not for a commercial purpose.
We have a wealth of downloadable resources and we also welcome copyright-free educational material from all our users to help build our rich resource (send to bradfordvts@gmail.com).
Our sections on (medical) COMMUNICATION SKILLS and (medical) TEACHING & LEARNING are perhaps the best and most comprehensive on the world wide web (see white-on-black menu header section on the homepage).
