Jim Says “Please Take Over This Website”
I’m off to cure diabetes be a consultant fairly soon, and I’m looking for someone to take on day-to-day website running duties. My “day-to-day”, I mean “once or twice a month”, and don’t worry, I’ll still be there to hold your hand through the geeky stuff. Interested? Email me. I’m also looking to hand over the reins as Training Advisory Committee trainee rep. Two meetings a year. That’s all. Seriously. Again, email me if interested.
