2011 Choose to be Challenged

Last year's Annual conference was held on Saturday 20 August 2011

PowerPoint handouts are available now for downloading below. 

  An educational and networking opportunity for all general practitioners, nurses and health workers. This conference is carefully designed to stimulate thinking and promote learning — its plenary morning sessions feature expert speakers and the afternoon features a facilitated panel discussion and interactive workshops.

The aim of this conference is to provide up-to-date information and to explore some of the most interesting as well as contentious issues in sexual and reproductive health so our theme is "Choose to be Challenged".
