Discussion group information
In addition to CPD courses, we organise a varied programme of social and networking events for members. These range from
our prestigious annual dinner, a Retired Members’ Forum, a Business Members’ Forum to the informal discussion groups. In
the current environment many of these events are virtual but the intention is to get back to face to face events when the public
health position allows.

BBH runs four evening discussion groups, often led by guest speakers. These give you the opportunity to hear technical
updates, engage in thought-provoking discussions and network with fellow members. They not only cover technical matters
but also include discussion on other issues like communication skills and social media. For more information please visit
icaew.com/bbhevents or contact kim.shield@icaew.com
