*'''Magic Book.''' The Magic Book is a database of contact details. The main idea is to add the hospitals and other places you visit (not just your own place of work). To create/edit contacts, there is no need to log in and the process is very quick and simple. See [[Contact:Magic_Book|Magic Book]]

*'''Mental Health Law Online CPD scheme: 12 points for £60.''' Obtain 12 CPD points online by answering monthly questionnaires. The scheme is an ideal way to obtain your necessary hours, or to evidence your continued competence. It also helps to support the continued development of this website, and your subscriptions (and re-subscriptions) are appreciated. For full details and to subscribe, see [[CPD scheme]].

Submissions should be no more than 1500 words."
