Welcome to the NSD Information Blog

The NSD Information Blog is an interim solution on the way to having a fully interactive website. E-blasts are great but we have found that often the information doesn't get to our members. We are hoping this blog will house the lasted news, information on courses, requests for assistance and provide a responsive link to NSD for our members. It will alos have links to our subgroups and units websites or blogs. This site is not private so please do not post information of a personal or patient nature.
