Networking
Healthcare communication is a developing field with many individuals undertaking ground-breaking work in their institution.
Communication teachers and researchers often feel the need for practical advice, resources, support, encouragement and a sense of community. Networks also allow members to coordinate their efforts and act together to achieve results for a whole community of healthcare communicators.
The networking committee is keen to help facilitate such networks, both within countries and within disciplines.
