USHA - Yes we can!

The USHA planning group will be meeting in May 2009 in Brighton to discuss the developments and opportunties presented by the introduction of the new USHA website. Following the circulation of documents via the "virtual" planning meeting, key considerations will be to enhance the professional learning and development programme and exploring future sponsor participation.  The building of the resource areas within the GAP and TRADE - Uni / TRADE - Commerical initiatives will also be key features. Further discussion will also involve supporting and contributing to the proposed international congress.
