+## Agenda Items
+
+1. **Welcome and Check-in**
+
+```
+The Chair welcomed attendees to the board.
+```
+
+
+2. **Feedback on recent NHS.Pycom Community Event**
+
+```
+The responses from the recent Engagement survey were discussed. 
+Responses illustrated that the event was very useful and overall, 
+the feedback was positive.
+```
+```
+Excellent ratings for the presenters and event were received, and respondents 
+mentioned that they would like to see project case studies in the future too. 
+```
+```
+In terms of future events, the aim is to have one event every quarter. 
+Technical shows and talks will also be introduced in the near future.  
+```
+```
+There was also a discussion around specific topic perspectives related 
+to the NHS that can be shown to provide use cases of python. Illustrating 
+a ‘before and after’ view of different projects would be insightful. 
+
+```
+
+3. **Next Event, Show & Tell, and NHS-R Podcast**
+
+```
+A code demo was discussed as a topic for the Show and tell. Sharing code 
+is beneficial and informative. 
+
+Show and tells allow us to understand what projects people are currently 
+working on and where to find more information about their projects.
+
+The frequency of the event was discussed. A Monthly show and tell was 
+decided upon as there is a high demand at present - lots of members 
+want to share the work they’ve been working on. 
+
+```
+```
+The NHS-R Community has invited members from the NHS Python Community to 
+join them in an informal interview for their next Podcast. Members will 
+explain what the Python community is and what our future aims are. 
+More details to follow in January. 
+
+```
+
+4. **Slack: IT Channel and New Champions**
+
+```
+A new Slack channel was proposed. The aim would be to benefit members by 
+providing them with a space where they can communicate and solve any 
+installation and IT errors.
+ 
+However, it was decided that a  community discussion event would be a 
+preferable way of discussing the issue around IT. 
+
+```
+```
+Slack Champions for the following month were also established. 
+
+```
+
+5. **AOB**
+
+```
+The board closed with the following ideas that are still in discussion:
+
+- Establishing a date for the First Show and Tell
+
+- Volunteers for the NHS-R Podcast
+
+- Executive Team Induction
+
+```
+
+```
+Next board meeting date: 28th January 2022
