Registration is now open for a series of CPD electrical workshops being delivered by Eastwood Park this year, led by electrical trainer and hospital Authorising Engineer, Peter Handforth.
The theme for two workshops in July is Inspection and testing of electrical installations in healthcare facilities. The workshops, at the Airth Castle Hotel, Stirling on 5 July, and at Eastwood Park’s Gloucestershire training centre on 21 July, will address the requirements of BS7671 and advice in Guidance Note 3, and provide practical guidance for projects ranging from minor work, to new installations, and the periodic inspection and testing of existing installations. Later in the year – on 10 and 22 November at Eastwood Park and Wetherby Racecourse respectively, two workshops will cover Electrical installations in medical locations, Section 710 of BS7671. Eastwood Park is pleased to continue to be able to offer places on these events free of charge.
