SIGN Staff Deliver Guideline Course in Singapore

Robin Harbour (SIGN Quality & Information Director) and Duncan Service (Senior Information Officer) have just returned from delivering a course on clinical guideline development methodology to guideline developers in Singapore. The picture below shows Robin and Duncan along with Dr. Keng Ho Pwee of the Singapore Ministry of Health surrounded by the course participants. This was the sixth time this course has been run, with no discernable fall in interest from the participants who kept the instructors on their toes throughout the two day course.
