Medact's local group - details and contactsMedact's local groups are key to Medact's activities; you might want to join one or think about establishing one if there isn't yet one near you. Local groups vary in size and do as much or as little as suits their members. They can support Medact's ongoing activities or suggest something new; and of course they can respond strategically to local issues. Click here for existing group contacts and some suggestions or call us if you would like to know more. 17/03/2010
