So, if anyone wants a further incentive (e.g. a lift) - I will (almost certainly) be driving down, leaving (West) Edinburgh on Monday 16th Nov at (the latest, by about) 17:30 (5:30 pm), and arriving in Nottingham (hopefully) by about 23:00 (ish).
It is about a 5-hour / 5.5-hour, 270-280 mile road journey. We could stop on the way for a meal, etc. And have plenty of time to 'blether' (or sort the world out) on the way.
You would have to arrange your own accommodation in Nottingham for that night (16th) and the next night (17th), as I am not prepared to share a room / bed / floor, etc.
And I will (almost certainly) be driving back to Edinburgh on Wednesday 18th November, leaving Nottingham early-ish (08:00-ish) and getting back to Edinburgh - hopefully - before my regular 'clinic' - i.e. about 2:00-2.30 pm.
1, 2 or 3 places will therefore be available in a comfortable, well-driven, Saab.
Contributions to petrol costs would be very welcome (i.e. necessary): 280 miles @ 40 mpg (converted to £.p.litre); x one-way (or two); divided by 2 or 3 or 4 people = ???.
You do the maths!
Looking forward to offers of company!
If none, I will be going anyway and may just decide do something else on the way back !!!
Yours
Courtenay

| | The case for demedicalising mental health services is well rehearsed. The research has been done, the conferences have been held and the intellectual argument all but won. Yet on a day-to-day basis, services continue to operate within the medicalised status quo. One of the aims of this conference will be to look at how we can implement realistic, practical changes in our mental health practice, education and lives, in order to continue the progression from rhetoric to reality. For service users, carers, professionals, students and everyone interested in critical debate in mental health care Early bird rate before 17th September: £75.00. Full price after 17th September: £85.00. Unwaged/student rate: £25.00 |
