IMRF - Forward Look 2022 - Webinar Recording

If you missed our Forward Look webinar on the 27 January 2022 you can now watch it on demand to find out about the IMRF’s plans for 2022 and beyond.

You can hear about our hybrid programme of webinars, panels and in-person events and trainings (such as our G5 Conference and the MRO Subject-Matter Expert Course, and the International #WomenInSAR Training and Seminar scheduled for later in the summer), as well as our plans for producing and reviewing guidance and best practise on a range of other SAR topics.

The webinar speakers included Jori Nordström, CEO, Finnish Lifeboat Institution and Andrew Tate, Head of In-Service Support, RNLI, who both spoke about how working in partnership with the IMRF had brought benefits for the work of their own organisations.
