Central Support for Premier Transition licensees...

Launching a new Premier product can sometimes be quite daunting, but with our increased level of central support, it doesn’t have to be.

As of Monday and Thursday this week, Premier Transition has been hosting two weekly webinars, providing front-loaded support for pilot licensees. The webinars have provide an opportunity for licensees and their staff to refresh their memories and review each and every plan, week by week with the programme specialist to support their delivery and offer an opportunity for Q&A.

This is also a fantastic opportunity for the rest of the network to see what has been created and developed for each programme, to view the plans first-hand and listen to the key areas of discussion around them.
