Information about this course can be found on the UKMi website ( - specifically at The site also gives a variety of costs (NHS resident, NHS non-resident and non-NHS). The non-resident cost is exclusive of accommodation and breakfast (you will be expected to arrange your own accommodation and arrive promptly for all sessions).

Details regarding the process and all the required paperwork can be found on the UKMI website.

A completed nomination form and signed learning agreement must be returned to me for every MI staff you wish to nominate by<Insert appropriate datein view course administrator deadline>.

If you cancel after a place has been allocated to you, then the full cost of the (resident or non-resident) course fee will be incurred.
