This page contains information related to the ST2-A teaching schedule, beginning in September 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teaching takes place on Tuesday afternoons from 1400-1700. Sessions begin at 1400 or 1430 and are held at the Horwich Health & Wellbeing Hub<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your training practice should ensure you are released from clinical duties by 1300 as the 4 hour structured educational session begins at 1300 and lasts until 1700. We include time within that to have pre-teaching case-based discussion and post-teaching portfolio reflection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
