ACAPSPA

The 2009 Paramedic Student’s Convention has just gone online!

A day filled with stimulating learning and a host of fantastic speakers, the 2009 Paramedic Students’ Convention brings you 7 hours of pure education with five “hot topics” in prehospital emergency care. Michael Stephenson, David Cooper, Dr Simon Young, Professor Peter Cameron, and Alan Eade will bring to the Convention keynote lectures in the areas of clinical approach and assessment, paediatric and trauma care, as well as paramedic management of substance abuse and the care of the grieving family. The Convention will also provide students an opportunity to be involved in a poster presentation competition; where by the winning poster will win a fully funded registration to the 2009 ACAP Conference in New Zealand worth $500. The convention runs for the whole day and includes a fully catered lunch as well as morning and afternoon tea. A fantastic door prize and a charity raffle bonanza worth almost $5000 will bring the day to a close – but as they say you must be in it to win it!

But we’re not ending the fun just there! Hosted in the wonderful scenery that is Melbourne University’s Ormond College, the Dinner Dance venue will bring entertainment, social networking and fun to all our guests. Held under the auspices of one of Australia’s finest Neo-Gothic buildings, the Dinner Dance package includes pre-dinner drinks and nibbles on arrival, followed by a superb three course meal and drinks including red, white and sparkling wine, beer, orange juice, soft drink and sparkling mineral water. An excellent local DJ will be providing the entertainment for the night!

Whether you’re a student, paramedic, clinical manager, academic or related health professional, this Convention and Dinner Dance may be just what you were looking for!
