Meetings
Text
We meet every two months via Zoom. 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.
Forthcoming meeting dates
Network meetings take place via Zoom on the second Tuesday of every other month, from 10.30am – 12.30pm.
14 March 2023
Further details, an agenda and the Zoom meeting ID are sent to members two weeks prior to each meeting.
If you would like to know more about the meetings please contact us.
Meeting summaries and presentations
Video links, notes and resources from each meeting are sent directly to members.
