SFPE Online Seminars and Webinars - Update

Dear all SFPE UK Chapter members and supporters,

 

First of all, I hope that you are all well, safe and healthy during these unprecedented times.

 

Secondly, this is just to inform you that our UK Chapter CPD programme has been paused and in the near future we will advise on future CPD activities. We are hoping this will not take too long.

 

However, we like to raise awareness that SFPE HQ have increased their offer of online seminars and webinars, which might be of interest to you. The webinars are free for SFPE Members and a fee will be applicable for non-members. The presentations will cover a wide range of topics and will be given by experts from all around the globe.

 

Please see below the planned programme over the coming months as well as links how to register.

 

The SFPE UK Chapter committee wishes you all well. Stay safe.

 

Karl
