Who says what's right for you? How aware are you of how much you actually drink each week? Is it more than you want it to be? Does it take the edge off your performance? Or do you just think it's time to change? This session will challenge the way you think about drink. It's not about what someone else thinks you ought to drink - it's about your own attitude to it. Take away a completely fresh way of thinking about drinking. Get some insights into 'how come' you drink what you do. Find out what you can easily do to drink less. During the session you will have the opportunity to take a fresh look at: * Your drinking habits - casual/social drinking, habitual drinking, binge drinking * 'How come I do this'? * How we think about habits * 'How could I change my drinking'?

This is a full day session that will aim to provide a more in-depth understanding of Food Hygiene. It meets UK and EU legal requirements for food handlers & matches RSPH and CIEH level 2 syllabus

This course will provide all staff with an awareness of food hygiene. It also covers the recommended yearly refresher in Food Hygiene.
