Meetings
Text
We meet every two months via MS Teams. In three meetings per year we will discuss current work and challenges, share ideas and solutions. In the remainder we will concentrate on key priorities identified in previous meetings.
One meeting per year will be face-to-face (if feasible) to help members of the group to network. We provide notes, resources, recordings and useful links from our meetings for members of the network, allowing those who can't take part to benefit.
