Following the assignment of the intellectual property to RAB, DIP supplements RAB’s resources and activities in delivering educational resources and programmes to a worldwide community of healthcare providers and their patients.

A new Organisational Structure was established, and a Steering Committee and Editorial Panel was convened.

Immediate priorities included:

  • securing funds for the employment of essential personnel, especially a Research Officer
  • reviewing and updating the pathways
  • updating other content, especially that mandated by the reassignment of intellectual property to RAB
  • reimplementing publishing standards and ensuring functionality of the website
  • implementing the latest version of the Content Management System and importing the entire content to the new platform
