• Strategic Gatekeeping: Serve as the primary Point of Contact (POC) with the discipline. Missed opportunities are unacceptable. Filter noise. Escalate only what matters. Maintain professional distance, no over-familiarity with staff, trainees, or external parties.
  
• Information & Documentation Control: Manage sensitive information with discretion. Prepare briefs, summaries, and talking points. Organise documents, contacts, and correspondence. Maintain clarity. Disorganisation is failure.
