Booking FAQs

Workshops are free of charge for Sheffield University academic staff and generally for NHS staff and others who teach our students.

Access the webpage for the workshop that you want to book into through 'Training and Development' OR 'What's on' in the menu bar above. From the Educational skills workshops page you will be able to book into a session by completing your details on the embedded form. The workshops have a limited capacity and once all the places are full,  you will not be able to book into that particular date. For a list of future dates go to the workshop page. 

Our skills workshops have a  limited capacity and booking is  on a first-come, first-served basis. Before you book onto a workshop please ensure as far as possible that you will be able to attend on the date in question. We accept and allow for extenuating circumstances however, we ask that you make every effort to attend. If you wish to cancel your booking, please contact us (medstaffdev@sheffield.ac.uk) as soon as possible so that your place can be offered to others.

Unfortunately, we are not able to set up and manage a waiting list in the current booking system. We will strive to offer multiple training sessions for the same course to offer more places so, please look at the list of published dates on the workshop page (through Training and Development -> Education skills workshops). We also encourage you check the website as more places  might become available and re-released if participants cancel their booking.

You will be emailed approximately a week prior to the start of the workshop with further information including confirmation of the venue  (for face to face training) or joining instructions (for live online training). Depending on the workshop you may also be sent a pre-workshop task. Emails are sent from the following notification only email address: medstaffdev@sheffield.ac.uk, so please make sure to add it to your safe senders list, otherwise please check your spam folder.
