Lancashire and South Cumbria Practice Nurse and AHP national and local update forums
We have set up 4 new style forums for 2026-2027. Each forum will be 2 hours long and these have been arranged on PLT afternoons so that some locality staff will be able to join, however, any GPN or AHP from other localities can join any of the sessions. Each session will focus on one topic, delivered by an expert in that field. The session will be of an educational nature and there will be an opportunity to ‘ask the expert’ at the end of the session.
