Each centre will host two senior trainees for two full days (Monday 19 and Tuesday 20 September). This will allow them to participate in the centre's day-to-day clinical activities.
A programme will be provided by each centre under direct supervision of the local chair and organiser. They will also assist in directly liaising with the trainee regarding advice about travel and local accommodation.
