    The IDSc Midlands Branch outing!! For our June Branch meeting the members of the Midlands branch were invited to hold the quarterly meeting at the Arthrex Education Centre in Solihull. We had a great informative meeting as always, with good debate about standards and processes, followed by a presentation from Arthrex and a visit to their specimen lab where surgeons are invited to train on the surgical kits provided by Arthrex. It was a very interesting day and I think I can speak for all members when I say we came away with a lot of useful information. Special thanks go to Agnieszka Miltko our wonderful branch secretary for organizing the day and keeping us all in check.
