Courses offered to GPs
I run a training course for bariatric surgery for senior surgery trainees on annual basis at Luton & Dunstable Hospital.
I routinely give talks about various topics in surgery (general and weight loss) to local GPs at request or in events arranged by local hospitals (NHS or private)
