You will probably be aware that this year’s SSHA Annual Conference that was to have been held at the Hilton Hotel in Belfast in September, has been cancelled due to lack of take-up. Reasons for lack of take-up are thought to be – accessibility/cost of travel, getting time off work, lack of funding for training.

In order to meet our commitment to provide training for members, we are instead offering a one-day training event to be held in London on Friday 8th October 2010.

The day will begin at 10:30 and end at 16:30. This should allow members to travel to and from the conference on the same day.

Here is the planned programme:
