Affiliated to the National Back Exchange
In 2007 those in attendance at the Scottish Manual Handling Forum (SMHF) meeting voted in a large majority to proceed with becoming an affiliated local branch of the National Back Exchange (NBE). Since then members of the Core Group have worked to achieve the various requirements of such affiliation – constitution, elected core group, audited financial accounts. As a result of these efforts the SMHF became affiliated to NBE just before the NBE national conference in September 2008.
There are many benefits to this affiliation, not least of which being access to a further community of experience and expertise – details of all the benefits of the NBE can be found at www.nationalbackexchange.org.uk
