Our GROW events combine two hours of structured CPD with three great speakers, covering three topics. GROW is designed to ensure that delegates are hitting their personal development goals in a manageable way. Our GROW workshops are designed to help delegates develop their knowledge in a range of areas, whilst being fully interactive and actively involving participants. During these virtual events, we use the interactive tool, Slido, to help gain thoughts and opinions on questions relevant to the session, allowing delegates to input in an interactive way.
