RSC Group Handbook
The RSC is grateful for all of the work that Interest Groups do and the time and commitment devoted by everyone involved.
This handbook has been produced as a practical guide to assist with queries and to provide support to those members involved in the day-to-day running of the Interest Groups. We hope you find it useful and informative and welcome any feedback you may have.
The handbook has been designed to enable easy updates which will be added electronically. Committees will be notified of any updates via the Networks Newsletter.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to get in touch.
