Have you attended SuMMiT or ASET before?
If you have previously completed SuMMiT/ASET and are mainly looking for an update on a particular aspect of supervision, you may not need to attend the full-day SuMMiT course again.
Our Medical Education Academy Learning Lunch / Supervisor Series offers shorter, focused sessions throughout the year on individual areas of educational supervision and may be a more suitable option for your learning needs. Please look out for upcoming Learning Lunch sessions advertised by PGME.
How to register
To secure your place on SuMMiT, please email PGME@stgeorges.nhs.uk with your preferred course date.
We look forward to welcoming you to the refreshed SuMMiT 2026 programme.
