Oliver McGowan - Tier 2 Training

Due to allergies, we kindly ask all delegates not to bring any food items containing nuts into the venue. This is to help protect the health and safety of all staff and delegates who may have a nut allergy.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

SELWDH, Londonwide LMC and SLaM are working together to provide South East London primary care staff with access to Oliver McGowan training. In-person sessions will run from late June through to early November at a range of locations, including LSEC Orpington College, Lewisham Hospital and the Royal Bethlem Hospital. SELWDH will manage bookings for these sessions, while the training itself will be delivered by an external provider.
