Since the Bristol medical student Balint group scheme was developed in 2012, each year trainee psychiatrists have offered Balint groups to all medical students in their first clinical year at the University of Bristol. Following that experience, some of the psychiatrists involved with the scheme have gone on to develop their Balint interest and expertise, with many becoming accredited leaders. We have grown to accommodate the resulting surge of interest in Balint groups in Bristol, as the scheme has gained renown locally, as well as nationally and internationally.
Presenters:
Judy Malone trained first as a GP, then as a cognitive analytic therapist, then a psychoanalytic psychotherapist. She worked in NHS mental health services in Bristol for 25 years before retiring from the NHS in 2014. She now works as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and supervisor in private practice. Judy is an accredited Balint leader, founder of the Bristol medical student Balint groups scheme, and offers Balint training and supervision.

She is now involved in promoting medical student and junior doctor Balint groups for the UK Balint Society.
