Underpinning all is the financial strategy

Increasing expenditure, but income not increasing in line

Format of meetings to continue:

– 3 successful major meetings/yr

– Registration numbers and feedback demonstrate

popularity

– Showcase for AAGBI activities

– Strong QA process in place

Core Topics (~12/yr)

Seminars (~50/yr)

Education

E-learning

Via ‘learn@aagbi’ website

Increasing use

No need for travel, accommodation (NB impact of

decreasing S/L funding)

Easy to collate records, incl. reflection for appraisal

Webinars, online training tools (e.g. ultrasound

course)

Looking to sell products to non-members
