The 2017 SA Workshop for health professionals was a great success and allowed participants to share innovation, information, knowledge and expertise. With a wide range of topics covered during the workshop, there was something for everyone. Presentations and resources are available below. Check out the full album of photos on our Facebook page. We had a great number of people participate this year including health professionals working in urban, rural and remote areas in SA and beyond. Thank you to everyone who participated and made this workshop so worthwhile.
