This event marks the beginning of a bold new initiative designed to connect and empower clinical educators across Cumbria. The Education Hub aims to support those working in general practice, secondary care, and allied health by providing opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and professional development.

The afternoon will focus on coming together as a community of educators to share ideas, challenge assumptions, and reimagine what clinical teaching can look like in the future. Attendees will have the chance to learn from peers, discuss best practices, and explore new approaches to medical education.

Whether you are a seasoned clinical educator or new to teaching, this event promises to inspire, inform, and strengthen the network of those shaping the doctors of tomorrow.
