The National User Committee is impartial and is representative of the customer base across all healthcare sectors; Acute, Primary Care, Mental Health, Ambulance and the Private Healthcare sector. This group meets throughout the year to support the regional user groups that meet regularly. This allows users to create a network of local organisations to share ideas and best practice to help them to get the most out of Allocate solutions.
