Regional training days are events organised and delivered by expert faculty from all regions of our fabulous city, mapped to your curriculum. Some events are virtual, utilising MS Teams, whereas some will be delivered in person (hence capacity limited). If an event is labelled pan-London, trainees based in any rotation (NW, NC, NE, SE or SW) at the equivalent stage in the curriculum can attend.
To book onto an event, click on the booking link and follow the instructions. If you are not sure what events are relevant to your needs, speak to your educational supervisor or college tutor in the first instance. You will also need to book study leave from your department, so please follow local policy and provide sufficient notice. You may not necessarily receive invitations for relevant events, so ensure you check this site regularly. If you miss an event, some are recorded and uploaded for you to view on the north or south London MS Teams channel.
