Salomons Institute has recently said a very sad farewell to two long-serving senior members of the staff team as they start their retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Linda Hammond, Admissions Director, joined Salomons in 2003, initially as a Clinical Tutor before assuming responsibility for admissions onto the Salomons doctorate in 2006 and setting up its national and international fee-paying process in 2013. Linda contributed to the Group Relations and psychodynamic approaches on the programme; her work will be a strong foundation going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Louise Goodbody, Clinical Director, joined Salomons last century (1999)! Louise has been instrumental in developing the Institute\u2019s approach to \u2018Widening Access\u2019 to the profession of Clinical Psychology; now becoming a key programme of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. She has been leading on Diversity teaching and workshops for trainees for years and has brought a strong Systemic Approach to the programme. Another strong foundation the programme will thrive on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two retirees were presented with lead crystal vases, as well as a bespoke book filled with photos and messages as a reminder of many happy times spent with trainees and staff at the Institute over the years. Donations were also made to their selected charities at their request: Greenpeace (Linda) and Medecins Sans Frontieres (Louise).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The staff team joined Linda and Louise in a farewell Zoom call, with much laughter as well as tears, and all agreed they would be very sadly missed, both personally and professionally. We wish them both a long and happy retirement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
