I would like to take this opportunity to encourage you to attend SAPNA’S 2010 State Conference which will be held at the Adelaide Convention Centre from 4 – 6 November. This year’s theme is centred on the celebration of 40 years of SAPNA and peri operative nursing in South Australia.

Come and help REVIEW the last 40 years, EVALUATE the present and be ready to EXPLORE the future. We are returning to our previously popular program of single steam on Friday and Saturday is divided into specialty areas. This year we are offering company based workshops on Thursday at reduced cost to SAPNA members and as complementary for full conference registrants.

The trade exhibition will also give you the opportunity to see the latest advances in medical technology and provides a great networking opportunity. Planning is well underway for a gala dinner on the Friday night and it promises to be a night of celebration, certainly not to be missed especially at our new venue!

Make sure you put November 4 – 6 in your diary and watch the new SAPNA website for the latest news and updates.

Cathie Hashemi
SAPNA President
