I joined AfPP for the professional support it provides. At the time I was quite new to the perioperative environment. Since joining I’ve found the regional study days and the annual conference beneficial in terms of professional development and keeping my knowledge up to date. I find AfPP incredibly good value for money in terms of the support, professional development and networking opportunities they provide.
