We are currently recruiting to the steering committee and welcome all applications. We are also currently working through updating the recommended procedures with a new vHIT document, hopefully to go to consultation soon. We will also be planning on developing a SVINT document and are hoping to offer a workshop/ small event in the not-too-distant future too.
