The next roundtable meeting for the SIRG will be held on Saturday 23rd October 2010 following the main E-IASSID conference in Rome. The roundtable will focus on two related topics 1) the transformation to community based services and 2) new models and ensuring quality. The event will take the form of several short presentations to prompt discussion and participants will be encouraged to bring with them examples of both difficulties and good practice from their own countries.
