Regional SIG Groups run independently of the National SIG, however being a member of your Regional SIG has additional benefits, so why not join both! These groups offer a chance to meet locally with colleagues, share ideas, review journals, discuss cases and attend local training. Regional SIGs can apply for the National SIG Grant.
