We would like to bring your attention to some changes to the Rules of the PDNSA which were proposed and agreed at the last AGM on 22nd November 2012.

Following a recent committee meeting and some new members joining the committee there has been a reorganisation of roles.  

Sadly, Alison Leake (Chair) and Jean Martey (Secretary) have now left the committee, having served their terms of office. We would like to thank them for their committment and hard work for the PDNSA over the last few years.

New positions ...

The PDNSA are pleased to announce the date of this year's conference and AGM, which is to be held in Milton Keynes on Thursday 7th November 2013. Please save this date in your diaries - further details about the Agenda will follow in due course but please take a look at the flyer for proposed topics. A registration form is attached and we recommend you send this to us as soon as possible to guarantee your place. Please note payment must be sent at the same time and is not refundable under any circumstances.  

PDNSA members (i.e. those with current membership for the year 1st October 2012 - 1st October 2013) are eligible for the reduced rate. If you have missed paying your renewal for this year (which was due 1st October 2012) and wish to take advantage of the reduced rate you will need to pay the outstanding renewal fee for October 2012-2013 or pay the full rate for conference.  If you are not sure of your current membership status then please contact Caroline Evans, Membership Secretary caroline.evanspd@nhs.net  

We look forward to seeing you there for what we hope will be another interesting and interactive conference.
