In January 2008, Gill Brook - Medical Device Nurse Practitioner for Wrightington Wigan and Leigh NHS Trust and Rose Parker - Medical Device co-ordinator for St Helens and Knowsley NHS Trust launched our Best Practice forum for Medical Devices.

For several years the two had tried hard to make contact with other like-minded persons across the northwest undertaking the same/similar role. The idea behind this was to enable staff to share best practice, ideas and other issues related to medical devices and training.

Gill states “We made a decision early on to invite corporate people onto the forum this again was for the networking and to enable us to have people who could take our ideas back to companies we who were actually providing us with our medical devices. Over the last several months we have gone from strength to strength and membership has increased. But, we now feel that we are at a point were we would like to extend an invitation to any other people who feel they would benefit from the forum in particular representatives from the PCT to join us. If you are interested or just want to ask any questions please feel free to contact gill.brook@wwl.nhs.uk or rose.parker@sthk.nhs.uk“
