28. What does our first FEDIP registration think?
“A common registration standard with informatics colleagues provides an element of solidarity and enables us to speak with a common voice about the critical importance of the many professional strands improving patient care…FEDIP provides another forum to demonstrate our impact and collaborate for the good of patients.”
“I found the registration process through CILIP to be pain free and straightforward.  As I was collecting evidence for the revalidation process anyway I was able to use some of this for the FEDIP process and collate relatively quickly with a summary statement.”
