A half-day conference on everything you need to know for General Practice in the real world

This summer, in conjunction with Cambs LMC, we are delighted to offer a half day virtual conference on ‘Life after CCT’ for all newly qualified or nearly CCT’d GPs.

With sessions from leading local GPs discussing essential topics and offering focussed, valuable information and advice, practical tips and take-home messages, the programme will enable GPs nearing or recently CCT’d to thrive as a newly qualified GP in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

Brought to you by C&P Training Hub in partnership with Cambs LMC, the programme provides a great toolkit of information and resources to ease your transition from training into First 5 or into the local area. The sessions will be delivered online via Zoom and will include the opportunity for interaction and to ask questions.
