For the first issue
of our publication, we asked a number
of our members to supply material
advertising their services, as well as an
editorial-style article for the opposite
page. These articles are related to their
industry, are highly topical, and are sure to
be of interest and value to the rest of our
members.
Now, we plan to approach each and every
one of YOU, our members, to become
involved in this free platform. We would
love you to showcase your services to the
rest of the medical specialist community,
and in doing so, to engage with each
other’s businesses and practices.
We look forward to interacting with you
through this platform and any suggestions
that you have to improve this service
would be greatly appreciated!
Regards
