This course is being run as an online training course. Details of how to join the meeting will be emailed to you closer to the event.

This is an interactive teaching session, and it is expected that delegates will be in a quiet environment in which they can use a camera and a microphone to communicate with the rest of the group.  Inability to communicate with others during the sessions may lead to the course not being successfully completed. 

If you no longer require your place on this course place cancel or transfer it so that there is availability for other delegates.  To manage your bookings please log into your Somerset LMC portal and navigate to your events.  

All delegates must have their own booking made through the Somerset LMC website to join the meeting.  The name on your Microsoft Teams account should be recognisable as the name on your booking.  If we cannot identify delegates, they may not be admitted to the session, or certificates may not be issued after the event. 

This training is for Healthcare Assistants and Assistant Practitioners only. If you have any questions please contact erin.heathfield@nhs.net.
