Recertification Webinar

On Wednesday 10th November, at 1830, we will be holding an online meeting (webinar) to answer any questions or concerns about the revised recertification programme. While open to all, we are keen for those who started on the programme in September and those due to start in December to take this opportunity to join us. There will be no presentation, just a chance to ask us questions directly and discuss anything relating to the programme.
