Summary

We look forward to launching our three new communities of practice for peer support and professional development.

  • Trainee Advanced Clinical Practitioners working with Older adults
  • Researchers and clinical academics in older people's healthcare
  • Future leaders

 

We'll have a wellbeing check in and you will have the opportunity to feedback on what is working well from a BGS perspective and what else we can offer in terms of peer support.

We also seek your input on an NAHP council survey. What is important to you as a BGS member? What would you like us to focus our questions on eg communication/future engagement/what else?

Following the meeting there will be the opportunity to stay on the call for a 20 minutes stretch and relaxation class led by a trained body balance teacher.

We hope to see you there,

Lucy, Frazer and the council committee
