Credentialling pathway overview: your questions answered

Join us for a live session designed to walk you through the initial credentialling pathway and give you the chance to ask questions directly. Learn about the pathway, followed by practical tips and advice about what to expect and how to navigate the process. The majority of the session is reserved for open Q&A, so bring your questions along.

📌Please note: this session will not be recorded to help create an open, supportive space for members to ask questions freely. A written summary of key points discussed will be shared afterwards so you don't miss anything.
