Hi there

The charity is building a database of specialists that will be available on the new website - hopefully this will be launched this winter. Where are you based? I can look on the spreadsheet to see if we have anyone recommended in your area.

is this database going to be world wide?

Not to begin with - I am but one person! Dealing with the UK is going to be labour intensive as it is, never mind the entire world :) Yvonne has just started in a part time role working mainly from home, but we might consider creating an international database if we can get the resources and funding to do so.

Hi DD

Typical! South Wales is covered really well - one of the most APS covered areas. There are specialists in Cardiff, Llantrisant and several in the Royal Gwent at Newport. However, we don't have anyone listed for North Wales ... yet.

I'm hoping that you may get some answers from the HU community - if anyone knows of an APS specialist in North Wales, please let us know :)
