We have not managed to meet even virtually so far this year but are actively looking to find a time for an online gathering in the next month or so.

We aim to meet on Zoom every two months for a couple of hours. We hope to meet in person at least once between conferences if at all possible, particularly so that we can visit one another’s workplaces and delve more deeply into concerns, share tools and techniques, and provide mutual support. We arrange each meeting using a Doodle Poll.

The group is going well, with a good core of approximately six to eight of us. We meet three or four times a year, and have support / sharing experience / CPD type discussions. We have spent the last eighteen months or so visiting each other in situ which has been educative.
