Welcome to March edition of DESPATCH
Who would have thought when watching Boris a year ago telling us we all needed to stay at home, that a year on we would only just be emerging from Lockdown – with our fingers-crossed for the future?
Despite the restrictions, the ACPME Board have been able to meet virtually on a regular basis, and building on the success of the virtual conference in December, are planning an exciting programme of online events throughout 2021.
To keep up to date with what’s planned keep an eye on the Events Listing page on our website and don’t forget to keep checking what exciting and informative events are planned.
And to keep in touch with the Board and your fellow members follow us on Twitter Facebook and LinkedIn and share what you like; this helps us to decide what content you’d like to see more of. We will also update you via our social media channels.
Every member’s attendance at our online events programme throughout 2021 is crucial to ACPME’s success, as we need our sponsors’ support to thrive. Whilst you’ll benefit from updating your personal knowledge of our suppliers latest products and services, networking with colleagues and increasing your CPD, you’ll also be helping to guarantee ACPME’s future, continuing to benefit all members. Please encourage all of your staff to join in as much as possible.
Stay safe, engage with what we have in the pipeline and keep up the amazing work.

PRINTDOGS… THERE’S LIFE IN THE #ACPME FAMILY AFTER RETIREMENT
It’s good to talk and great to see past members keeping in touch
You might recognise some of these faces. Ex-ACPME members who often get together in person, have met regularly via zoom during lockdown.
It just goes to show what years of sharing expertise, time and conferences does. Good friends, not just colleagues – still united by our fantastic network. #ACPMEFamily.
