Spreading the word

Open-access content 6th February 2017

Spreading the word - Colin Wilson


On reading Colin Wilson's article in October's edition (bit.ly/spreadingtheword), on the ability of our profession to provide thought leadership and see the bigger picture, I was prompted to question the name of our professional body.

To an external audience, at best this must prompt the question of why we are both an institute and a faculty, and at worst it could imply the now historical merger of the two previous governing bodies is yet to be fully reconciled. Is it time to review this key component of our external branding?
