ANNA Victoria's "Stroke Seminar for Nursing and Allied Health"
On Friday 26th February 2010 ANNA Victoria held a Stroke Seminar in Melbourne which was attended by 210 delegates from nursing and allied health. We had a range of presenters from across the continuum of stroke care.
The day was incredibly well recieved by all, highlighted by the overwhelming response with registrations closing one month prior to the seminar. Over 100 people are on the waiting list, encouraging us to start preparation for another Stroke Seminar later in the year. Please stay tuned for further details.
Many thanks to the Department of Health's Victorian Stroke Clinical Network (VSCN) for delegate sponsorship via sponsorships to both Metropolitan and Regional delegates. We would also like to thank Boehringer Ingelheim for their donations and support.
