Outcomes for this group:

• Connect with other PhDs in similar situations and provide peer-support – hopefully meeting up outside this termly meet up
• Share and hear about resources and advice from the co-facilitators and participants

This sesssion will be hybrid: In-person in Room A at 17 Mill Lane as well as offering an online opportunity to join via Zoom
