Out and about
Dr Julian Churcher, our Graduate Staffworker in London and the South-East, writes: 'I've been able to introduce members seeking mentoring and support to peers or senior colleagues, or met them personally. I've been in touch with other regions when local members are visiting, or migrating with work. We're planning the Saline Solution course at various locations during the Spring.'
Dr Scott Stadalsky, our Student Staffworker in Scotland, writes: 'We look forward to a busy start to our new year as we are already planning several outreach events in February, followed by travelling with a group of students from here to the National Conference in Swanwick.'
