Peer Reviewer training

This training is specifically for staff working in MSNAP member services and will qualify you to become professional MSNAP peer reviewers.

It will prepare you for the role of peer reviewer, and build skills in group facilitation and delivery.

Once qualified, attending reviews is a great membership benefit, as you will:

  • gain useful experience and knowledge of how other memory services are managed and run
  • network with other organisations and share good practice
  • develop deeper insight into how organisations are experienced by frontline staff members, patients and families.

Next training date available:

Date: 10 September 2025, 10am - 12pm

Venue: Online

This training is free of charge to members of staff working in MSNAP member services, and must be completed before you attend any peer-reviews.
