Iforkant av Norsk trepleieforum sin årlige konferanse vil det bli mulig å deltake på en 2-dagers workshop med Benoit de Reviers(Frankrike) i "Diagnostisering av grenkløfter".

Workshopen vil bli holdt i Larvik og foregå på engelsk. Nærmere kursbeskrivelse vil derfor være på engelsk:

The main objectives of the workshop would be :

- Understand the types of forks/inclusions and natural braces (based on the work of Duncan Slater)

- Using a clinical model to develop a methodical approach to assess tree forks and inclusions (the clinical approach can also be useful for diagnosing other tree organs, as cavities, ZRT, cracks, etc..)

- Tree risk assessment : distinguishing between the probability of failure and the risk of damage

- Acquire the general concepts of structural diagnosis: primary failure and chronic pathologies

- Particular points to be developed in the diagnostic process (expert models vs clinical reasoning, measurement equipment, decision-making process....)
