Four dates have been arranged for briefing sessions on phase 2 of the technical links programme.

People involved in registrations are kindly requested to make a note of these dates in their diaries. Participants will be expected to attend either a morning or an afternoon session on one of the days.

There are spaces for a maximum of 5 attendees per communications hub proposal, and these are expected to be made up of at least one person from the proposed hub site, one PCT lead/ representative and one NHS Direct/ Technical representative.

The dates for the sessions are as follows:

3rd of December
4th of December
14th of January
15th of January

All briefing sessions will be held in London, and efforts will be made to ensure that people travelling greater distances can attend afternoon sessions if possible.

The Technical Links Project Team are currently collecting together registration forms, and once applications have been considered, letters are expected to be sent out in latter half of this month. These will give formal notification of whether applications have been successful as well as explaining next steps, and identifying a briefing session to attend if accepted into Phase 2.
