Participants are required to read a pre-set paper and to make notes using a checklist prior to attending the session (1.5 hours CPD).
The session is not intended to be an appraisal of the quality of the paper, but rather a reflective discussion with colleagues on the issues and topics presented and how they relate to practice (1 hour of CPD). Attendees will receive a certificate of participation and attendance upon completion. Please note that a minimum number of participants are required for the session to proceed.
