BVI Seminar timings feedback - we need your help!

For those of you that have previously, or currently attend any of our BVI Seminars, could you spare 5 minutes of your time?

We are looking into possible alternatives for the set-up and timings of BVI Seminars. Currently, these are held on a Friday at 4pm, lasting approximately an hour, followed by drinks and nibbles for those who would like to stay.

We are aware that holding these on a Friday at this time may not suit everyone, meaning that some are unable to participate, either online or in-person.

Therefore, we would be grateful if you could take a few minutes to complete the survey (link below) to let us have your thoughts on the current set-up and potential alternatives that may be more suitable.

The survey will be live until Friday 5 May and should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete.

Please note that there will not be any immediate changes to timings and any scheduled for this term will be held at 4pm on a Friday, as advertised.
