An update on our stakeholder forums for Anatomy, Human Application and ODT
Last month we held three more sector focused forums. Meeting together in this way has many benefits, as some of the things we talked about can illustrate.
Stakeholder engagement
Throughout the year we host a programme of stakeholder engagement events.
Our sector-focused stakeholder forums have given us the opportunity to share updates and hear feedback on our regulation with leaders from each sector we regulate.
We've also started a programme of roundtables to discuss specific topics relevant to the sectors.
Membership of our stakeholder groups consists of leaders from each sector, and we're also looking at opportunities to hear from a wider group of professionals in the near future.
