Louis,
I assure you that the steering group is in no way whatsoever 'maverick'.
The current members are all members of this forum and come from Medical Physics/EBME depts around the country. The first meeting of the group was at the EBME Educational symposium in June. Anyone who chairs/represents a regional group would be ideal to join this steering group. Once we have something worth publishing on this forum, I assure you we will. Unfortunately, the first meeting was only to dicuss our terms of reference, we didn't want to clash with anything already being done by other groups, and are mainly concerned with operational strategies and policies, with a view to helping other depts improve their lot.
The current membership is very representative and with the groups permission, we will publish names and contact details after our Sep meeting. Anyone wishing to join can give me a call on 01279 827533 or e-mail

As I said previously on this forum, you should be willing to put some time into policy and strategy development and be able to meet 3/4 days a year. The current membership are all NHS medical equipment departmental managers.
