Access to the Handbook, which provides more detailed guidance for all sessions, will be provided once your booking is confirmed and can be found in the Documents tab.

Please also check the Session Details document under the Documents tab for the name of your facilitator, and add their details to your logbook prior to your attendance.

Enter main entrance-automatic double doors, (a disabled toilet is on the left as you enter main corridor area.) Walk up entrance ramp to main corridor and follow signs to Dental turning left along the main corridor. The dental unit is a short walk along this main corridor on the ground floor, on the left side-it is a double set of doors. This is the meeting point for your sessions. The access to this area is restricted so the facilitator will meet you here promptly at 9am for morning sessions and 1.15pm for afternoon sessions
