Past Events
Queensland State Conference 2021
Despite COVID-19, we successfully held the Queensland State Conference at Noosa, Sunshine Coast. We had over 80 attendees including Fellows, Younger Fellows, Junior Doctors and Medical Students. The discussion surrounding the different topics were phenomenal. The program catered to all interests, with lively and interesting discussion on emergency theatre access across the state, trauma care, generalism in future training and specialty access in regional areas (One State One Patient)
2021 Preparation for Practice
The 2021 Younger Fellows' Preparation for Practice Workshop was successfully held face to face at Avant Offices on 6-7 November 2021. Despite clashing with the rescheduled Fellowship Exam, attendance was excellent. There was great discussion on key issues and we thank our conveners Dr Stuart Collins, Dr Rebecca Won and Dr Danielle Wadley for their commitment and expertise across the weekend. We also thank Assoc. Prof. Peter Myers for his words of wisdom to the group based on his experiences across his time in private practice.
