About the Town Hall session

Do I need to be a current trainee to attend?

How are the breakout rooms organised?

You will be randomly allocated to a small group with one or more panel members. The groups are designed to be informal and conversational — there is no set agenda for the breakout time and you are encouraged to ask whatever is on your mind.

I have a specific question I’d like answered on the night.

I can’t attend live — can I still get the information?

To be confirmed — we may be able to share a recording or written summary with registered attendees who could not attend live.
