FEEDBACK AND FORWARD PLANNING

FEEDBACK

The Unit must be responsive to the needs of users. If there is a piece of equipment you feel would be useful, a technique you think we should be able to provide, or some organisational procedure that you feel could be improved, please let us know at any time. Apart from that:

1 Advisory Group minutes are viewable.

2 Every few years there is a written User Survey covering equipment and other issues
