ACAPSPA announces the inaugural Student Paramedic Convention for September!
In September 2008, the Australian College of Ambulance Professionals will be holding their annual National conference in Melbourne, Victoria. A large number of national and international delegates will be attending the conference, as it is a renowned forum for prehospital emergency care in Australia. The ACAP Student Paramedic Association will also be facilitating the inaugural ACAPSPA Convention to be held in conjunction with the national conference. This will allow all ACAPSPA members and society representatives to meet, greet, share insight, discuss ideas and ofcourse take part in the inaugural ACAPSPA Annual General Meeting. The AGM will encompass an election to appoint the new committee members of ACAP SPA.
Don’t miss out, It’s free for all ACAPSPA members!
The ACAP SPA convention is shaping up to be a great night! Some highlights include:
- An inspirational and keynote address from Peter Davidson, an intensive care flight paramedic and a key figure in the 1998 Sydney to Hobart yacht race disaster that saw the rescue of 8 people by Air Ambulance Victoria. This event is recognised as one of the worst Maritime disasters in Australian history, as Peter reminisces on the rescue from the stricken vessel “Standaside” in the midst of some of the worst conditions in sailing history.
- Addresses by Daniel Cudini (SPA, Director) and Ian Patrick (ACAP National, Director) throughout the night will redefine and exemplify the character and nature of undergraduate paramedic students in 2008.
- Win a clinical placement shift on one of the Air Ambulance Victoria’s Fixed Wing Aircraft.
- Win a clinical placement shift with one of Ambulance Victoria’s renowned MICA Paramedics.
- An awesome charity prize raffle to the value of almost $3000. Stay tuned to our upcoming list of prizes.
