Study with professionals
Learning Curve Studio online courses were developed during the pandemic by Ursula James, head of Thames Medical Lectures, an organisation which has which taught student doctors for the past 22 years at medical schools including Oxford University Medical School, where she pioneered the first course in clinical hypnosis and its application specifically for medical students.
Learning Curve Studio teaches at the same high standard and presents similar material to that taught at medical school. However the scope has been broadened to give easy access to others interested in learning how to use hypnosis as a therapeutic tool, whether for themselves, as an addition to their professional skills, or as a stand-alone practice.
As taught at the following UK Medical Schools
