Whilst a forum could be useful it would be a lot less hassle from the BWRC point of view to have a Facebook page. Fora are fine until the spammers find them and than it becomes a full time job maintaining everything.
I would love to see the forum up and running again. With the symposium happening just once a year, it would be fantastic to have the means to contact others working in the field and share ideas /knowledge all year round. There are always new developments, issues to be discussed and questions to be asked/answered, so I feel that this would be a valuable resource. It would also be interesting/useful to have an online database for rehabbers to be able to input their yearly casualty statistics in order to get an idea of how many animals are being treated/the reason for admittance/the outcome throughout Britain.
A comprehensive and regularly updated list of rehabilitators (which is sorted by country/region/county and also easily searchable by data fields, such as nearest town, or species, etc) should perhaps be considered a priority ... for most folks, getting assistance with any wildlife casualty usually begins with trying to find someone close enough.
Maybe you could begin by adding us to the existing (somewhat sparse) Scotland listing?
What about having a forum so rehabbers could discuss and share information.
The joining facility is a good idea. It's also great for rehabilitators to offer to share information like this.
West Yorkshire Bat Hospital has developed a form for registering bats coming into care. It may not be applicable to all but rehabbers are welcome to use it as a reference point for developing their own. It can be found in the Bat Care News Bat Rescue Manual as a photocopy master or contact me at batcarenews@phonecoop.coop.
Can I suggest that the website also has details for becoming a member?
