Who We Are
The Communications Committee acts as a mouthpiece for our Society to engage directly with members, the public, patients and practitioners about the work of our Society and specialty.
Communications range from advancing patient care through improved access to hand surgery, developing support for and funding of our specialty, to the optimisation of messaging within our Society to increase connectivity, engagement and understanding among members.
