Presentation     An Evening With Sir Gregor Smith   Thursday 1st October 2026 Deacons Suite, Surgeons Quarter, Nicholson St, Edinburgh, EH8 9DW (note the slightly later starting time of 6.00PM for welcome drinks and presentation at 6.20PM)    Join us for a special event with Sir Gregor Smith, Scotland’s Chief Medical Officer and principal medical adviser to the Scottish Government.   Sir Gregor has served as Chief Medical Officer since 2020 and is one of the leading voices shaping health and healthcare policy in Scotland.   Sir Gregor will share his perspectives on the current and future health landscape, offering valuable insight into issues that ultimately shape the customers we support and protect.   This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from one of Scotland’s most respected medical leaders and to take part in a live Q&A session where you’ll have the chance to put your own questions directly to Sir Gregor.   We’re also doing something a little different this year. Rather than our usual venue, we’ll be gathering at the prestigious Surgeons Quarter, Edinburgh—a fitting setting for what promises to be a fascinating and engaging discussion.       Fundraising   We are delighted to once again support the fantastic charity Candlelighters, helping families affected by childhood cancer across Yorkshire. You can support this wonderful cause by taking part in our raffle on the night.   A huge thank you to everyone who attended our last event and helped raise an amazing £450.
