Future of SIGs – current thinking

Outline of risk and benefits of not having SIGs. Challenge is finding volunteers to run the groups and potential for many more groups in the future. Need clear coordination of clinical input. Proposal is to create virtual domain groups using Confluence. Work will be done on a task and finish basis. Lengthy discussion and request for comments from the group. We have 4 SIGs which meet regularly.
