Subsidised Booking Options
Wessex LMCs hold a number of funds for different organisations, specifically for training purposes. By using these funds, many of our 'members' are able to access training without direct recourse to Practice Funds. It is important that you select the appropriate funding option in the booking process, so that we can assign your booking to the correct funding stream, and here is some guidance to help you decide.
All GPs and Members of Staff working within GP Practices in the Wessex LMCs' catchment area
Please use this option if you are working in a Practice in the Wessex LMC catchment area and do not fit into one of the other options on offer. This option may, or may not, have a cost attached.
Non Members
Please use this option if you are not working in a Practice in the Wessex LMCs catchment area.
NB: Unfortunately, some of your colleagues have previously booked places and not attended, preventing others from doing so. It must be stressed that the above options are not ‘FREE’ they are funded from NHS monies, all of which must be accounted for. If, therefore, you select one of these subsidised options, and do not attend, or fail to cancel more than 2 weeks in advance, you will be charged the full member delegate fee. To cancel your booking please email: Lead@wessexlmcs.org.uk at least 14 days before the event date.
