Syllabus/CPD for 2021/2022

Tue 24th Nov 2022                   Graduation Ceremony                    Venue to be confirmed   

Dear members
You will recall the COVID restrictions in 2020 meant that the Branch evening face to face CPD seminars were put on hold and then put online.  The online seminars proved very popular with members and one of the benefits was that the online access allowed SOLAS members from any part of the country to attend the seminars via Microsoft Teams or GoToMeetings and such.  The pool of speakers has also grown, as the speakers don’t have to travel to attend either.  Because of this success, it has been decided that Branch committees will work together to provide CPD for 2022/23.

There will be an online evening seminar in November, December, January, February, May, June, August and October.  In March and September SOLAS already provides an opportunity for CPD in the form of the National Seminars which are held during the day.  July is holiday season so no seminars are proposed.  In April, each Branch intends to hold its own AGM with its own speaker (and perhaps some of these may be held face to face instead of online). More details of the Seminars will be advised to you in due course by your Branch secretary.  However, you will find a note at the foot of this e-mail with the proposed speakers and dates for the online seminars.

Please contact your Branch secretary if you have any queries and to request links for the seminars.  If you have any suggestions for speakers or topics which you would like to be covered, do let your Branch secretary know and these may be included in the next syllabus.

 

Best wishes

SOLAS Branch Secretaries
