Colleagues,
Here is the round-up for May.
I hope this information is useful to you and would welcome any
suggestions. If people send me details of other regional events or local
organisations and networks, I would be happy to include them. Please
include 'Regional Roundup' in the subject line. I am also happy to
receive suggestions for other ways of facilitating regional liaison.
Be seeing you.
Daniel Cunliffe (BHCIG-BCS regional liaison).
