The APodA “Refresh & Reconnect” events have been a great success, with glowing feedback from delegates from all over Australia. We are pleased to invite you to the Adelaide Hills in October for another exciting and educational event, focusing on Empowering Active Ageing.
This theme will examine the different stages of ageing throughout life, shining a light on the problems that can develop as we age. You will gain important insights on what you can do to manage them. You will get two full days of learning, networking, socialising and developing new skills as well as gaining a greater understanding of how to put your learnings into practice.
There will be loads of hands-on workshops and interactive demonstrations to help you in your practice plus the opportunity to interact with exhibitors to see the latest products and services to help you, your patients and your business. Don’t miss this opportunity to Refresh & Reconnect with some leading lights, your peers, colleagues and new connections.
