We are always looking for new sources of material for our twice-yearly Journal and our quarterly publication “Travelwise”. You do not need to be a member to submit an article or research paper. We are particularly keen on helping those who have not published previously. Whether you are a doctor, a nurse or a pharmacist with knowledge or experience you would like to share or a student with an interesting assignment you have done, please get in contact!
