Healthwatch Haringey PPG Zoom Training

We are running 'how to' courses to help PPG members use the Zoom video communication platform.

The Zoom training was so helpful, and the whole atmosphere was friendly and supportive.

Pat, PPG Member, Staunton Group Practice

There are two 'how to' sessions available for PPG members to use the Zoom video communication platform to host their meetings online. These sessions are suitable for PPG members who already have some experience of attending Zoom meetings.

The two sessions are listed below.

These took place in July 2021. There are no scheduled training sessions at the moment, however we do hope to put some on in future. Please email Tanya if you are interested. See below for the PowerPoint presentations.
