ACPOHE Study Day 2020 Update
We hope that everyone is coping through these challenging times. Originally we were due to run a Study Day towards the end of the year in Cardiff. However, in light of the uncertainty around public gatherings and considering everyone's safety, the ACPOHE Committee have decided to cancel this.
In its place, the committee are working hard to set up a series of webinars that, we hope, will continue to meet the needs of our membership. It will, unfortunately, mean that the socialising/networking element is less feasible, but we hope to find an alternative in due course.
Thank you for your time and understanding.
Kind regards,
ACPOHE Committee
