Welcome to this latest round-up of articles and resources that came to our attention in April, which you might not yet have had a chance to read. We are pleased to include suggestions from members, so if there’s an event we haven’t mentioned, a useful resource we’ve missed or an article you feel would be of interest to colleagues, do please let us know!

We’re sure you’ll join us in offering congratulations to Charlie Redman, Jake Keeling, Lauren Blain and Rajeev McCrea-Routrey and Carrie McCrea who collectively raised an amazing £23.4K for their chosen charities in this year’s London Marathon! On their and their charities’ behalf (Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance, Prostate Cancer UK, Children with Cancer, Sense), thank you to all of you who sponsored them.

As well as supporting these individuals, we’re also pleased to be sponsoring some upcoming events. We’ll be at the FMPA Conference [https://www.fmpa.co.uk/fmpa-conference-2024-programme/] tomorrow, Thursday 23rd May, so please do come and say ‘Hello’ if you’re attending.

Facilitating CPD and SEM education is important to us at SEMPRIS, and so another event we are supporting is the RFL Medical CPD 2024 – Medical Matters from a Legal Perspective and Open Forum with the new RFL CMO and Medical Team, to be held at Leeds Beckett University on 18th June. For details, please email medical@rfl.co.uk
