WORKSHOPS
We run residential courses for doctors, nurses and others away from the hospital environment. The venues are normally hotels and the workshops are run over two days. Our current series of workshops are about explaining the results of genomic testing (TARGET) and communicating genetic testing and results to patients and family members (TRUSTING). Normally these residential workshops last 8 hrs split over 2 half days and attract 9 CPD points.
We are running a series of our TARGET workshops this year. For further details of the last upcoming workshop click the logo below.
