New IDF Structure
The IDF has had to adapt to the impact of Covid-19 and this has required us to take some difficult decisions.We have decided not to hold any face to face events in 2020 but continue to offer a varied programme of educational and social events virtually. In addition members still have access to all the other benefits of membership, such as the IDF CQC Adviser, access to discounted e-learning via Blue Stream academy and our Psychiatric Support Network - full details of these and the other membership benefits can be found on our website.
Sadly we have had to make the Head of Events and Corporate Membership role redundant and we are grateful to Barbara Seljak for her hard work over the past three and a half years.
The Executive Board has undertaken a review of the IDF team structure and has asked Rachel Whitelegg to take on the role of Managing Director and Emily Stephens to take on the Revalidation Director role. As such the IDF team, which is well equipped to support our members, now comprises:
Dr Alexandra Harkins - Responsible Officer
Rachel Whitelegg - Managing Director
Emily Stephens - Revalidation Director
Louise Wade - Revalidation Administrator
Mercedes Elliott - Membership Administrator
Sasha Dickson - Events Administrator
