We've moved some things around
Videos and Programmes
We've carried out some minor renovations to the website which will hopefully make it a little easier to navigate around the website - see, we really do read your comments and take them on board!
Recorded presentations are now available to view without logging in - they are in the Videos section and subdivided by year - 2021 and 2022.
Past meeting programmes are now in our resources section if you need to view or download them for any reason (portfolio, CPD etc) and are again organised by year - 2021 and 2022.
Our Members' Area will be a little sparse for the time-being but it does contain the MS Teams Link to the next meeting so it's still worth keeping hold of your password for now (we will continue to send out the meeting links via email).
