AGM
6th March
RPSGB, 1, Lambeth High Street, London
The AGM topic was RISK; following the announcement that the FDA had become interested in the subject.
Attendees were treated to four interesting lectures on how other industries recognise the need to address risk in their own work.
Guest Speakers (from Left to right):Paul Stanton {NHS Clinical Governance Support Team}; Margaret Dangoor {Executive Director of ALARM}; Alison Carnel {Unilever}; Edward Smerdon {Reynolds Porter Chamberlain}
This gave members the opportunity to learn form experts outside the normal sphere of PQG interests and they will now be more prepared to take these learning points into their own work.
