Network training events
Our events are generally aimed at staff working in both community and inpatient settings, are applicable to a range of professions (including medicine), and may also be suitable for professionals in the voluntary sector. Royal College of Physician CPD accreditation will be sought for events of particular relevance to doctors.
Professionals employed by private companies may be able to access our face to face events with the following caveats:
- If the event is free then a charge will be levied. This will be used to support future events
- If places are limited then priority will be given to NHS, public sector or voluntary sector staff
You can sign up to our mailing list to receive regular bulletins about training and other updates. You can also subscribe to our YouTube Channel where we host our online videos. You can also download the presentations from many of the events on our training webpage and access a wide variety of our locally created ELearning packages.
