The last Learn at Lunch session for 2023 focused on the results of the CASC / Audit Management and Tracking Clinical Audit Census data (see below). Stephen and Tracy are in the process of planning future Learn at Lunch sessions for Spring 2024. More details will be posted here in due course. If you have any suggestions for topics or speakers that you would like to see at future events, please contact us via the usual channels.
Important booking news
Historically we always shared zoom codes widely for our Learn at Lunch events on our flyers and via Twitter. Sadly, in June 2022 our breakfast meeting was attacked by a bunch of racists who had clearly picked up the meeting code online. Of course, we take this matter very seriously and have significantly changed our procedures. It is a shame that this will now increase the workload for us all, but it is a necessary change to protect the integrity of our events. Going forwards, if you want to book onto a CASC Learn at Lunch session then you will need to do this via the relevant Eventbrite link. These will appear above. You can also follow us via Eventbrite and this ensures that Eventbrite will notify you of future events that we organise and list. All Learn at Lunch events are hosted via Zoom and free to those who attend. Sessions typically run from 12.30 to 13.30.
Can you help us?
We are also eager to hear about what events you would like us to run as part of our Learn at Lunch sessions going forwards. If you have any suggestions, then do please get in touch via the above email. We are also keen to use the events as an opportunity to give others the chance to showcase their work, so if you or your team would like to lead a future session and/or present information, then do please get in touch.
