GP educational events
Our philosophy of continual investment is designed not only to ensure the best treatment for our patients, but also the best development opportunities for our GPs.
London Bridge Hospital’s GP Liaison Department arranges and manages continuing educational development programmes through a series of seminar sessions developed specifically for GPs.
From watching live spinal surgery to a small group talk by a leading consultant, our events are created specifically for GPs and are led by our internationally respected consultants, who aim to showcase new developments and breakthroughs in healthcare.
These seminars offer:
- certificates of attendance for all delegates
- high quality venues and catering (including the Board Room of London Bridge Hospital's St Olaf House, overlooking the River Thames)
- lunchtime, daytime or evening sessions, as convenient
- sessions led by consultants from leading NHS teaching hospitals

Our consultants are frequently engaged in cutting-edge treatments and procedures. We aim for an interactive format to our seminars, offering the potential to discuss updates on those latest technologies, diagnostic procedures and treatments.
