'Learning at lunch' is a series of one-hour virtual training sessions held for all healthcare professionals that are designed to be brief but informative. These sessions include updates on two therapeutic areas, a round-up of national prescribing news and changes in practice, with the opportunity to ask questions and discuss each topic with leading experts.
Videos of ‘Learning at lunch’ sessions are available on the website after the event for training and education purposes. Viewers are asked to note the release date of these videos and check that information contained remains current.
