Sessions are open to anyone working in primary care in South West London. You do not need to attend all sessions. However we do ask that you register your interest in the Forum, and fill in very short quarterly surveys to let us know about any training or support needs, and also if any changes are being made in your PCN or practice as a result of the Forum. This will also enable us to share resources and further information with you.
