Summary
Suzanne previews tonight's Wednesday Webinar (03 June 2026). You will find a link to the College webinar recordings page here. This will include a recording of this month's webinar, once it becomes available in the coming days.

Suzanne also discusses the new PCS cycle, the value of the PCS practice development plan at this time of year, and the role of College in providing courses to GPs that address the learning needs of clinicians in practice at every stage of their career.

Please note that this is the last episode before our summer break. We plan to return with another series in September. In the meantime, we’ll re-release some of the early episodes that you may have missed first time around, on a fortnightly basis, to reflect the academic downtime many GPs look forward to at this time of year.

Many thanks for listening, rating and reviewing, and stay tuned for Series 2 in September!
