Brilliant time at this today, what a vibrant and helpful community! Thanks to @jukes.ie, @debblanch44.bsky.social and all others involved in organising, and to all for their thoughtful contributions. Lots to chew on and follow up!

New here too - think I'd meet the criteria to be added if ok?
Ooo I'm in!
Also interested in this as I'll be 'inherited' for the first time in a month or so. Good opportunity to consider our current practice and to think about what I'd want if I was coming in.
