* This opportunity is one of our Professional Responsibility and Development [PDR] roles:  In addition to the traditional volunteer roles and tasks which our members undertake each year, there are also a number of other opportunities whereby members can offer to provide "paid" support for a fixed service. These opportunities are not by definition, "volunteering" roles. However, we recognise that the fee paid is nominal and we, as a profession, are therefore extremely grateful to, and reliant upon, those members who provide this service to enhance and develop our profession. We think of this as being part of "Professional Development and Responsibility" [PDR].
