Comments from some of the 'Lunch & Learn' sessions held throughout 2010…

“Hello, thank so much for the lovely lunch and it was nice to meet you finally. The Dr’s thought the meeting informative and useful and they enjoyed it very much, many thanks.”

“Thanks to you and the consultant for a great learning (and eating!) session, the GP’s really enjoyed it. We will look forward to having another Lunch & Learn.”

“Thank you so much for the Lunch & Learn you provided for us yesterday. Everybody enjoyed and appreciated the session. Extend our thanks to the consultant, he pitched his lecture perfectly and everybody was able to understand."

“Hi, the talk yesterday was excellent, Many thanks.”

“I’ve had really positive feedback from the GP’s I’ve spoken to about today’s event. One of my GP’s said it was excellent and the best one he had attended recently – very good speaker and excellent topic in terms of relevance to GP’s so thank you very much.”

“Thanks again for the wonderful lunch and learn afternoon. I must tell you to compliment the chef you have there as the last two lunch and learns you catered for were outstanding. The whole practice team here look forward to these afternoons, as the sessions and the consultants are excellent (and also the food). Look forward to the next one in July.”
