If you have a particular interest in helping some of these special interest groups then please contact the Chair or Tracey Mole. We hope the special interest groups will put on teaching courses and help with the development of our regional and world congresses. Some of the groups may also be putting together best practice guidelines in order to promote that particular interest.
