ACGP Annual Continuing Professional Development

Our CPD sessions enable Chaplains across the country to meet together to share highs and lows in Primary Healthcare Chaplaincy and include a training element from a guest speaker.

The sessions are tailored to those already working or volunteering as Chaplains in General Practice. If you are a new or prospective Chaplain in General Practice, we would recommend you join us for our Foundations of Primary Healthcare Chaplaincy course.
