Dear Elaine,

We’ve not met yet, but I look forward to doing so….

I’d like to invite you along to the next NMH Regional Meeting – in Manchester – 21^st Feb…venue to be decided…the amount of interest will determine where we meet but I always try to make our meetings within easy strike of Piccadilly Station; which would make it reasonably easy for you if you come over by train from Sheffield…my favourite city by the way as I was a student there – way back when!!!

The draft agenda – as at 25^th Jan is as follows:-

12.30 – 1.30pm Lunch / 1.30 – 4.00pm Business Meeting

·         Academic Support for students with ASD, medical conditions etc

·         DNA Reasons – SFE Document

·         Online support – practical arrangements and the student experience (compared to Onsite support)

·         Leave of Absence / Interruption and impact on DSA Support

·         NMH Charter completion - progress update

·         Progress on NMH Procurement Exercise / Report

·         Revised Research Council UK and SAAS arrangements – impact on DSA recommendations and HEIs

It would be great to meet you and see you there.

Best wishes

Simon
