Drop-in sessions

These regular drop-in sessions are a chance for current supervisors to meet a senior assessor and ask questions about the Scheme for Registration and more.  

Peer review sessions

We run regular Peer Review sessions for supervisors to provide a space to discuss key topics.  

These sessions cover the GOC peer review requirement and are worth three interactive CPD points. They fill up fast, so check the Events page regularly to make sure you don’t miss out.
