What does the SW&W regional committee do? We support the region’s members in training, workforce planning and FCS issues, organise the scientific meetings and award the regional bursary. Some of our members report the latest news from national committees, and in-turn feedback to them about what is happening in the region including raising any issues or concerns.
Why join? The committee provides excellent networking opportunities, exchanging of ideas, learning about other laboratory processes and continuing professional development. It can also be a stepping stone for you to consider a role on one of the national committees. These roles will help develop organisational and communication skills, and provide you with an opportunity to help our region.
