Invitation To Attend
On behalf of the Organising Committee for the Defence Health Symposium of the Australian Military Medicine Association and Joint Health Command, we invite you to attend the 2010 Symposium to be held at the Canberra Convention and Exhibition Centre, from 29th October to 31st 2010.
This is a triennial Symposium and is the most important gathering of Australian health professionals who are involved in Military Medicine and Veterans’ Health in 2010. The previous symposia attracted 600 delegates from around the world and this will give delegates an opportunity to share in the latest advances and issues in all the disciplines associated with management of trauma in combat and disaster situations, as well as broadening this to the long term health effects.
Papers presented will stimulate important discussion and bring to the fore new developments that encompass a broad range of topics, including trauma surgery, mental health, health surveillance, operational health, veterans’ health, research, ethics and many other streams.
The Symposium is will attract high profile international and national speakers and offers the opportunity to meet informally with speakers and delegates in an intellectually stimulating environment. Furthermore, we recognize that many in the health community could make a useful contribution to the success of the Symposium and as such we call for those people to submit papers.
We encourage you to take the opportunity to attend what we know will be an excellent and challenging event and take the opportunity to meet your colleagues and exchange ideas.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Defence Health Symposium
