Further to feedback from last year's Pinnacle workforce survey requesting more education opportunities, we've launched a new fortnightly lunchtime learnings programme.
Showcasing interprofessional collaboration, the sessions will feature presenters from various work areas. Recordings of each session will be available for two weeks, allowing you to catch up or revisit key points at your own pace.
To attend the live session, you'll find the Zoom link via our event page and Pinnacle GP, nurse and practice manager Facebook discussion groups.
This recorded session has been delayed due to technical issues. We'll update this page with the recording as soon as those are resolved.
