As always, the 2024 Annual Conference will assist you with your personal CPD plan, 'reflection' and achievements for the purposes of your own personal CPD plans, but so much more than that it will be a chance for us all to catch up in person. We will also be running the mini mentoring scheme as last year on the Saturday night with no lasting commitment other than a 15 minute conversation over drinks, if you want to opt out please do say so when booking.

That price includes an electronic bundle which will be sent to you before the event. If you require a paper bundle, there is an additional charge of £20 per person.
Discounted group bookings must use the booking form which you can find here. The rules for those bookings are set out on the form.
If you're interested in attending the conference but are struggling to make the whole event due to childcare or other caring commitments, please do get in touch as there are a limited number of day rate tickets available. We want to ensure that the event is as accessible as possible so please email Jo Davies. If a family room or child-friendly activities would assist, please also get in touch as this is something we are considering.
Please also note that call is by year at the date of booking, not by month within the year (in the same way that we all advertise ourselves as called in a particular year, not a particular month!). We work on a membership year, so 'Under 3 Years' call is call in or after 2021 etc.
If you would like a place on the coach (from London on the Friday afternoon, returning on the Sunday), please either indicate that on the group booking form (and pay for it with your booking) or for individual bookings, please email Jo Davies, our PIBA Administrator by clicking here. It will cost £30 return per person.
If you have any accessibility requirements please either indicate that on the group booking form or for individual bookings, please email Jo Davies, our PIBA Administrator by clicking here.
