A new opportunity has arisen to support the development of leaders in Kent and Medway for the delivery of the Oliver McGowan Training.
Bemix, along with partners, Kent Autistic Trust, Aucademy and Canterbury Christ Church University have recently been awarded the Kent and Medway Integrated Care Board contract to deliver the Oliver McGowan Training for the next two years. As a result they are looking to grow their team to support trainers with lived experience and facilitators.

Further opportunities will be shared in the coming months for people with learning disabilities, autistic people and training facilitators to become NHS England approved Oliver McGowan Trainers and part of the cascade of training in Kent and Medway.
The Community’s Steering Group is pleased to announce this year’s annual conference will take place on 4th December at Canterbury Christ Church University’s Medway campus.
We plan to share a flyer and call for abstracts/contributions in September, in the meantime please block the day out in your diary.
