I want to support our regional BGS network as I think it is a fantastic forum where we can support each other and our trainees, provide multiprofessional education and share best practice across the region. It also gives me the opportunity to represent our views at the BGS England Council and to feedback any relevant information to the region.

 

I pledge to support regional educational events, foster a collaborative environment and enable the sharing of best practice across the region.

 

I would encourage people to join the regional events to benefit from a network of supportive colleagues and a great and varied educational programme.
