Feedback & CommentsFeedback & Comments

A good variety of presentations that were thoroughly enjoyable … overall excellent … very

well organised and speakers were very

relevant.

Great to put a face to the names of some of the local Allied Health

Workers / Service Providers.

The most professionally run education session I have

ever been asked to present at.

Great – usually I struggle to stay

awake at evening meetings. Each

speaker tonight was engaging!
