Graduate Get Together

Each year, we host an event for graduates who have completed or are just starting a graduate programme. We come together to learn, share experiences and have some fun. It’s an action-packed weekend providing an excellent opportunity to attend CPD intertwined with activities. It’s also a great environment for new graduates to connect with their peers and build a support network within independent practices.
