01 Establishment (April 2020)

Taking into consideration the lack of visibility and dilution of efforts by individual medical professional bodies during the COVID-19 crisis, the SLMA took the initiative to establish a dedicated forum: the SLMA Inter-Collegiate Committee.

Key Objectives:

  • To provide a common platform for all professional bodies to communicate, allowing a candid and transparent dialogue.
  • To establish national level consensus among all medical professional bodies with regards to national level guidance and recommendations.
  • To allow content experts to contribute to national level guidance and recommendations.
  • To prevent duplication of already established guidelines and consensus.
  • To add value, validity and weight to the work done by the individual colleges and associations.
  • To advocate evidence-based best practices among the medical community.
