During the two days of the PFPNet 2018 conference, various areas for future study, research, guidance and training were identified. These have all been collated into categories as listed below. A poll will be sent by email to all members in the coming week, and this first round of voting will filter the list to those topics that have the majority backing. Once the main list has been established, another poll will be issued so that we can ascertain our upcoming priorities and plan ahead.
