#LetsTalkSmellAndTaste
Introduction
Our online support events are free and open to anyone. Fifth Sense members have priority booking opportunities to register a place before they are released for general circulation. Membership of Fifth Sense is free. Click here to join Fifth Sense and enjoy the benefits.
Through 2021, we hosted over 30 online events and based on feedback from you, the programme will continue. We will be hosting interactive conversations and formal webinars and continue to offer our informal Virtual Cafe drop in sessions, plus invites to our Parosmia Network and Congenital Club.
The conversations are limited in number to ensure everyone has the opportunity to feel able to engage, contribute and take part. They are private events and are not recorded or shared. The webinars are less interactive, more informative in style and this enables larger attendee numbers. These sessions are recorded and shared on our website, social media and YouTube channel after the event. The identity of participants is protected and delegates are informed of all recordings. All attendees must be aware of and agree to our attendance protocol.
