Annual Report 2007
Membership
Around 40 members at present mainly clinical but some academic.
Meetings
Our regular meetings occur quarterly and last 3 hours. They consist
of a talk / workshop, usually led by someone from within the region
(with an emphasis on clinical practice and lasting 1.5 hours), a
business section, and a short time for members from across the region
to catch up with each other. Once a year we hold a day long meeting
with presentations by people from across the region focusing on
their clinical practice.
Over this last year the main focus of our energy has been gearing
up to host the 2008 conference.
