An exciting development from the 2006 PATA conference was the formation of regional mentorship groups. Five regional mentors have offered to support PATA clinics as they strive to complete the tasks they set for themselves. This means that every clinic can get expert advice and guidance throughout the year while working towards achieving the goals they set for themselves.
To contact the mentor for your region, please email info@teampata.org.
| Region | Mentor |
| South Africa and Namibia | Paul Roux |
| Eastern Cape and Lesotho | Paul Cromhout |
| French-speaking East and West Africa | Sara Stulac |
| Central Africa | Henry Barigye |
| East Africa | Shaffiq Essajee |
Clinic participation in the mentorship programme is voluntary. We hope that clinics will make use of this opportunity to access expert advice and support.
