Education Centre
The Postgraduate Education Centre is located in the Trust Headquarters at East Surrey Hospital.Booking Seminar Rooms at the PGEC
The Postgraduate Education Centre has facilities which are free to book for Trust staff who wish to arrange a suitable environment for a learning event or educational meeting.
The centre staff are partially funded by HEKSS, who is our Local Education and Training Board and part of Health Education England. HEKSS has been established to ensure the effective planning, education and training of the NHS workforce within the region. Historically their primary responsibility was for the postgraduate education of trainee doctors, but as more recently this has been expanded to the wider multi-professional workforce, priority for educational and learning events will therefore always be given to meet this remit.
At short notice, if we have free rooms, we are happy to accommodate other Trust meetings, but please note we can only accept these bookings up to 8 weeks before.
The rooms that we have, with their maximum capacity** are:
Room 1 – 15 Boardroom, 20 in rows
