Congratulations to Edward our LOC treasurer on his successful completion of the London Marathon. He is an inspiration to us all. He ran for the SeeAbility Charity who support people with learning disabilities or autism, who may also have sight loss.

The Annual General Meeting was well attended and included an engaging CPD session, reflecting strong stakeholder interest in the committee’s work and reinforcing the importance of delivering NHS services close to home.
