Come and Meet Us at the Ortus
Venue: ORTUS (Mezzanine), 82-96 Grove Lane, SE5 8SN (back of the Maudsley Hospital campus). ORTUS website: http://www.ortusevents.com/
SLaM Recovery College team members will be present on the mezzanine floor at the Ortus from 10am-4:00pm every Monday. This will be an opportunity for any current or potential students to have an informal chat with members of the training team about the recovery college and what is on offer. We will be in the middle of the mezzanine at the large table with a banner, so you won’t be able to miss us!
The team members can also support students to complete an online enrolment if they need some assistance. We hope that, as the impact of the pandemic lessens, we can expand this service to all of SLaM’s boroughs.
