Supporting member CPD and development 

The Society has a packed schedule of technical lectures and webinars, as part of a revised agenda to meet the requirements of our members during Covid-19. We run a series of presentations from each professional sector to keep our members informed in their respective fields and up to date with CPD. We also work with partner organisations to showcase relevant knowledge-sharing programmes of interest to Society members.
