Expectations - Research Community:
"We are living in a small
country. It is important
that we capitalise on
the partnership that we
already have especially
between academia,
practice and service users
and carers".
"The group needs to be
sustainable".
"A small,
energetic and
motivated group to move
the agenda forward with the
membership prepared to take
actions and deliver them".
"The key is to make the existence
of the Research Community
known in the wider
community".
