COVID 19 FAQs 

The College is committed to offering excellent professional development opportunities for its members, and after a year in which networking with colleagues was severely limited due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Annual Conference is an opportunity to get together again for the benefit of patient care.

We hope that life will be very nearly back to normal by November, but to allay any concerns you may have about booking a face-to-face event, we have put together some FAQs. These will be updated as and when COVID-19 guidance changes.
