Groups
Join a group that interests you and share your views
Welcome to VOICE Groups! Here we aim to provide welcoming and supportive environments for you to connect with other VOICE members and researchers. By joining groups you'll have a chance to share your views, knowledge and experience on a variety of topics. As a group member you will have the opportunity to create new discussion topics and have access to a wide range of information and resources to both inspire and challenge.
If you have a burning question, or just want to hear other people's views and ideas, come and join the conversation!
Our VOICE terms and conditions apply to all group discussions.
