Forthcoming events - The days are getting longer now and the next SGPET Study days are fast approaching. On the 1st of March we have the Mental Health Study Day at Taunton Racecourse . This is focusing on providing the most appropriate support for our patients with mental health problems and how to support them with swapping or stopping antidepressants. Equally as important is looking after ourselves when we inevitably take on some of the emotions this provokes in our already stressful days. See programme here.
On April the 5th we have the Women’s Health Study Day also at Taunton Racecourse. We are covering topics from breast cancer to irregular menstrual bleeding and an HRT masterclass. This is already proving extremely popular so please sign up quickly if you haven’t already to avoid disappointment!
Also keep an eye out for the evening meetings that are restarting. Hope to see you all soon Ian and Tony
