We hope that you will find the programme relevant and interesting.

On Wednesday evening, we have a session with Mike Deighan, Deputy Director and Head of the Postgraduate GP School. We want to help you to enable your registrar to get more out of the ST3 year than passing exams.

For Thursday, we have stuck to the half day parallel workshops format but, this year, we have two so that everyone can participate in both. We are delighted that Roger Neighbour, who needs no introduction, has agreed to visit us and give us the benefit of his expertise on developing your trainee’s consultation skills. We are also happy to welcome back Josie Hastings. PMETB requires all trainers to have regular opportunities to learn about bullying, harassment and equal opportunities and Josie’s practical approach will help us to achieve this effectively.

You can download a booking form which we would prefer to receive by email but you can send it by fax or snail mail.

For anyone who hasn’t been there yet, the Hilton Puckrup Hall Hotel in on the A38 in the direction of Tewkesbury just off junction 1 of the M50. The nearest railway station is Aschurch.
