The electronic PATA newsletter provides teams in the PATA network with a forum for communicating with their colleagues. We want to hear from you - send us news from your clinics, telling us about the challenges you face and how you have overcome obstacles.
The newsletter also provides a forum for members of the steering committee or PATA mentors to communicate with all the PATA teams.
The PATA newsletter is compiled by Melanie (project director), Toast (journalist) and Virgile (French translator) with the guidance of the PATA steering committee. As we now have Lusophone teams participating in PATA, we hope to have a Portuguese translator on board soon. If your clinic does not have regular email access and would like to have a copy of this newsletter faxed or posted to you, please contact info@teampata.org with your details. Back issues of the 2006 and 2007 newsletters are downloadable from the website.
