The aim of the RM network is to provide opportunities for RMs to step back from the service they run and reflect on what can be done better, hear about new ways of working and share and learn from peers. It is an important chance to network and build links with others in similar positions and to explore different ways of resolving difficult and ever changing issues.

It is a simple way of supporting the development and delivery of high quality services that meets the needs of service users.
