Feedback

The CPD funding has been invaluable in providing our clinical colleagues with access to relevant continual professional development and to external courses, which we are now utilising to develop the teams and incorporating into our departmental training plans. The funding is essential in enabling our colleagues to be released and funded to attend courses which are proving invaluable to development within the department.
