Advice surgeries are available most Tuesdays and Wednesdays, when we offer two 45-minute slots (from 12pm and 2pm).
Securing your place
We ask that once you have secured your place using the ‘book now’ button, you provide us with a short summary of the project or idea you’d like to discuss (maximum 50 words). At booking you will be asked to select which two of the above six topics you would like to focus on. We will do our best to talk across the range of focuses you select and will allocate a member of our team to run your surgery based on availability and skill set.
We want these surgeries to be accessible for all so while we ask that you pay what you can, it is possible to request a free surgery.
These surgeries will take place online via Zoom, you will be emailed a Zoom link after booking.
