Background
This project will help to make available to the medical, dental and veterinary constitutency the first five of the new ASME booklet/guide series (due to start shipping in September 2006).
It will also enable ASME to substantially increase their initial print run thus making many more hard copies of the booklet available, and securing added value for both organisations.
Proposed activities
MEDEV will distribute, for no charge, at least one copy of the set of five booklets to all medical, dental and vet schools in the UK, and other relevant bodies as appropriate.
Proposed outcomes
MEDEV will receive 100 copies of each of the first five booklets, and have a logo appearing as appropriate.
