What should I be doing on Synapse?

There are a few simple but essential things you should do on the site…

Update your profile

It’s really important you get the right news on your Dashboard, so make sure your Synapse training profile is correct.

If you need anything changed, let us know on websupport@londondeanery.ac.uk.

Upload a photo!

Although we now have thousands of users on Synapse, there are still a lot of profiles without photos. And one of the reasons the site exists is to help trainers and trainees stay in touch, so we’d like you to be able to recognise each other!

It’s easy to add a photo – go to your profile page, click ‘edit’ in contact details, and upload the picture.       

Take a look around Synapse

We want to make Synapse the training community it deserves to be. Take a few moments to look at the new site. Tell us what you like, and what you don’t like! Post your ideas to our online forum.
