Faculty of Health Launch
A Year of Celebration

Faculty Launch Event - 9 November - Postponed In the context of the recent Covid-19 statement from the Liverpool Health Protection Board, we have decided to postpone our Faculty Launch event series, which was due to start on Tuesday 9 November with an exhibition and interactive tours of our Tithebarn Building. We're excited to welcome you to our flagship building to showcase our facilities and fully intend to reschedule as soon as practicable. As events in our year of celebration have a different formats, we will assess each event for its suitability to proceed ahead of its planned date. |
