Those wishing to join the Discussion by videoconference should email UniversityDraftsman@admin.cam.ac.uk from their University email account, providing their CRSid (if a member of the collegiate University), by 10 a.m. on the date of the Discussion to receive joining instructions.

On 18 July 2024, the Council published a Notice responding to Discussion remarks on a Report of the General Board proposing the introduction of Clinical Academic (Teaching and Scholarship) offices and posts (Reporter, 6750, 2023–24, p. 802). Owing to an administrative oversight, the General Board was not consulted in preparing the Notice and therefore wording that suggested that it had been consulted has been removed. The Board has since retrospectively approved the content of the Notice, which was prepared with input from the Schools of Clinical Medicine and of the Biological Sciences. The Report’s proposals were approved by Grace 1 of 24 July 2024 (Reporter, 6752, 2024–25, p. 23).
