Most of our training events are delivered remotely via Zoom or MS Teams. See below for more details, including how to book. Please note the following:

1. Due to ongoing uncertainties, some events may be cancelled at short notice.

2. Some of our courses require a minimum number of delegates to proceed; where this is not achieved the event will be cancelled and we will notify anyone that had registered to attend.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

WHO CAN ATTEND:

Our training is available to those working in the Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire area ONLY. To confirm your place and to receive the meeting link, we ask for details of your employing body and a work email address.

In line with commissioning agreements, priority for UYP training is given to staff working with young people in the Bristol area.

Individuals from North Somerset and South Gloucester are encouraged to email UYPTraining@UHBristol.nhs.uk to register an interest.

8 weeks before the event any remaining places will be offered to delegates from North Somerset and South Gloucester. Bristol delegates are thus encouraged to register early to avoid disappointment.

Please also note that for each course there is a minimum number of delegates required in order to run the event. In the event that this number is not reached the event will have to be cancelled and any delegates booked on will be informed 1 week before.
