The Pathfinder Study Club is based in Scotland and is run by Dr Elaine Halley. Our format is quite unique because the philosophy of the study club is that we all learn together and from each other no matter our experience. We strive to make it a safe and trusting place to meet up, share problems and ideas and have the ability to be motivated and inspired by the world-class content and speakers that we have access to. Our year begins in September 2024 and we meet monthly after that for our evening sessions plus we have 2 full-day events. The sessions are hosted by Dr Elaine Halley and supported by Flora Couper.
