Booking Process/Additional Information
- To book a place an email must be sent to gmicb-sto.learningdevelopment@nhs.net from either the Practice Manager or Lead GP confirming the names, roles and contact details of those that require places. By submitting this booking request, you are confirming that you have agreed a process to deduct any agreed costs from your next payment from NHS GM. Locums and individuals who would like to self-fund should try to agree this process within their practice or their main practice so the above process can be followed (the next practice payment is deducted from NHS GM) and they in turn deduct payment from the individual. Where this is not possible, we will arrange an alternative method of paying and self-funders should email as above to book a place/arrange payment.
- The department is sympathetic to issues which may arise, however, if an individual is unable to attend an event for any reason, the learning and development team should be contacted via e-mail on gmicb-sto.learningdevelopment@nhs.net as soon as possible (prior to the final date as below):
