6. Points for consideration
How will this change the way your NS works with Surge personnel?
What issues or challenges do you foresee?
What solutions or changes would you recommend?
Who needs to know about this and what do they need to know?
How do we communicate this in the best way?
What can you and your colleagues do to support the roll-out of Surge Optimisation to regional and national society level?
What support and information would you like from reference group 2 (Competency Framework)?
