The Patient Education Day programme is here
Kia ora,
Our Patient Education Day is on Friday 28 August, and the full programme is now on the website – a day built around what people actually ask us. There’s also a nutrition Zoom on the 19th, and a chance to get behind the Forbidden Pharmacy open letter. Everything below is free, and everyone is welcome.
