Career advice
Guidance from established ICNA members on career development to trainees before taking up permanent posts and losing the capacity to adjust career path. Distance mentorship would avoid a conflict of interest but may need to include individuals from same country who know the local system best.

The next stage
A working group need to be elected. This group would predominantly hold "virtual meetings", communicating via e-mail and skype and coming together at opportunistic meetings which they would be attending routinely e.g. ICNCs. The lead for this working group will be funded to attend the ICNA EB meetings (once a year) to feedback progress and developments in the program.
We call for nominations for members who would like to be part of this committee. There will be regional representation and the committee will rotate every 4 years. Two doctors from each of the ICNA regions (Africa,
Eastern Asia-Oceania, Europe, North America, South America, West Asia) will be elected to the committee. The person with the greatest number of votes will be the leader.
