44445-BATOD Feb 03 MAGAZINE February 2003 ISSN 1366-0799 Multi-agencyMulti-agency workingworking availableavailable toto membersmembers onlyonly From your editor This was going to be the most efficiently prepared Magazine as I planned to have a real break at Christmas. Well I didn't get the break as everything seemed to slow down during December and ground to a halt just before the Christmas holiday. Some articles and items just were not available to 'drop' into the publishing programme until the very last minute ie in January. The knock-on effect of the delays has been to miss all sorts of deadlines added to which, at the proofing stage of the magazine, my laptop and the proof of this magazine were stolen from my car - so Sharon Pointeer’s article on her ICT Newspage is particularly apt. So if your Magazine is a little later than usual - I am sorry. Maybe changing the publication dates was not such a good idea after all! Certainly this will be reviewed for the coming year. There are exciting plans afoot to publish the Audiology Updates as a pack; produce a CD ROM of the Magazines 2000-2002 so that you will be able to print off pages (in colour) to laminate and use as resources; and the new Language of Examinations booklet has reached the publication stage. With a fair wind it is possible that the new items will be available by early during the summer term. The Magazine CD (£25.00) should be available by the AGM in Edinburgh….
