We would like to thank everyone who has dedicated their time to getting this event up and running, especially our presenters. We would also like to thank our Pro Bono Sub-Committee for all their work.

Given the new format within which are now operating, we would be most grateful if you would take the time to provide feedback on our CPD Day, including in relation to any accessibility issues.

We hope you enjoy the sessions and encourage you to make an event out of them by perhaps planning to watch them with your colleagues with some lively conversation and delicious snacks.
