About this Publication
Welcome to the Spring edition of the ADSHG newsletter. We are exceedingly grateful to all our amazing volunteers who work tirelessly to support and promote the ADSHG. In conjunction with our website and social media platforms our newsletter aims to keep you up-to-date with the latest news and developments from across the Addison’s community.
Behind the scenes the ADSHG has been working hard to gain a better understanding of the challenges members sometimes face in gaining safe, effective care. As a result, we are delighted to introduce new member benefits in this edition and some changes in how the ADSHG operates.
