Specialist Education Programme

2025/26 Curriculum

Our 2025-26 curriculum offers a choice of packages, allowing you to access the kind of topics that best suit your team. All packages offer consultant-led, remotely-delivered modules, through a subscription model which offers the best-value way to learn with us.

Brilliant session, good to have breakout rooms and discussion. Very relevant to everyday practice. Looking forward to the next one!

I found the programme extremely helpful, and I have used what I have learnt straight away in my practice. Wish I had attended this 2 years ago when I started in this role.

The sessions were informative, interactive, and well-paced and it was easy to engage with the speaker. The delivery was warm and genuine and it felt like a safe space to share.
