Recolo are pleased to present an advanced one day workshop on Goal Setting and Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS). The workshop will be facilitated by Dr Peter Tucker (Consultant Clinical Psychologist) and Steffi Skalla (Specialist Neurological Physiotherapist). 

GAS II 

GAS II is the course to attend if you have had previous GAS training. You will already be confident in SMART goal setting, understand a client centred approach to goal setting and have a working knowledge of what GAS is.

It will provide a valuable opportunity for experienced health professionals who manage the strategic direction of rehabilitation, to consider together how to improve quality of life for their clients whilst ustifying costs and therapy fees to non-clinical funding providers. Participants are encouraged to bring care and treatment plans with them to discover how these can be integrated into a goal based approach.
