Lastly, it is with sadness (for us) and pleasure (for Alison) that our Clinical Advisor – Alison Brown has resigned from her position so she and her husband can travel the world. Her last day is 31 August 2023 which gives us time to find someone to fill her shoes. If you know anyone who would be interested in the role, here is the advertisement link and position description can be found here
