- sharing relevant and important information (e.g. from national reports)
- consultation with peers on relevant issues
- consideration of sharing internal resources (e.g. specialist staff or other resources) when appropriate
- providing advice and support on difficult issues.
To provide opportunities for Continuing Professional Development for members including:
- Opportunities to discuss relevant topics
