• Encouraging maximum recruitment to clinical trials

• Facilitating basic research

• Setting standards for appropriate professional education

• Working in partnership with parents and patients

• Lobbying government and administrations to ensure that appropriate resources are available

Priority areas for activity:

• Facilitate clinical trials

• Provide a common interface for informationexchange

• Provide a unified voice to communicate with regulators
