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.
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.
Pay Per Module
£55 per person, per module
We're excited to introduce our Pay per Module Specialist Education Programme Curriculum.
