Community Contacts Addition - Research Logistics

We've made the first addition to the Community Contacts page from Research Logistics.

Original message after the break.

A letter to the HPCSA regarding registration categories.

We received this email from Sally John where she indicated that her desire to share her correspondence with the HSPCA. The topic of registration categories was a hot one at this year's PsySSA congress as well as the various AGMs. Sally discusses this as well as an idea to allocate CPD points to pro bono work.

Feel free to discuss the topic in the comments below.

 Hello there
Thanks for your blog.
I just put this letter on which I sent to the HPCSA as I feel very strongly about more psychologists working for pro bono CPD points in the community.

Sally John

A copy of the letter can be read after the break.
