This year there are two significant issues to assess. Firstly the
consequences of the nGMS contract and secondly appraisal and revalidation.

The nGMS contract and the abolition of PGEA means that many PCOs are contending with the issues of funding and attendance. It is essential for the future of PLT schemes that the meetings meet the needs of all the users in coping with the new contract. Also now training funds have been passed over to practices how can PLT schemes ensure ongoing funding?

Appraisal is now producing learning aims for not only individuals but also across PCOs. PLT schemes need to be able to collate and use this information to help with the process of revalidation as well as with helping practices to develop effectively.

Working together to share learning and best practice
If you are involved with a PLT scheme or are planning to start a scheme this exciting event must not be missed. This interactive conference has been developed to bring together a selection of examples and case studies that will enable you to learn from the success and experience of other PLT schemes from around the country. Allowing you to address some of the challenges your PLT scheme is faced with, so that you can take back examples and inspiration to adopt them locally in the development of your own scheme.

> An opportunity to network with other PLT schemes from across the country.
> Practical sessions pursuing solutions to the challenges arising from the nGMS contract.
> A guide to how appraisal and revalidation can link into PLT schemes.
> Guidance on funding PLT schemes and the options available.
