| http://www.aspog.org.au/ | The conference theme reflects the change in position of the psychosocial in O&G in the 36 years since ASPOG was formed. From the peripheral interest of a minority of enlightened clinicians, psychosocial dimensions of women’s health care are now positioned as fundamentally important to the quality of care, broadly embraced by professionals and women alike.
We have assembled an impressive group of experts, who bring their perspectives from a variety of disciplines including psychology, psychiatry, social work, obstetrics and gynaecology, general practice and epidemiology. In a first for ASPOG, many plenary sessions will include a speaker addressing an aspect of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health. | | Posted: 03 June 2010 |

| Health policy is in flux with government takeovers in the wind, obesity and ageing are growing issues but on the up-side innovations such as e-health offer a new future. The proper balance between federal and state funding, public and private provision of infrastructure and services and traditional and new models of care is yet to be developed.
There has never been a better time to review the Commonwealth‘s proposed National Health and Hospitals Network and how it divides leadership between national and local players. Continuing sources of financing, and the role of the private sector, is critically important.
The Financial Review National Health Conference 2010 is a dynamic one day forum for healthcare, industry players and policy and thought leaders to come together to discuss the future of the sector. The conference will look at the importance of investing in healthcare and the impact of health reform on the sector. | | Updated: 12 May 2010 / Posted: 07 May 2010 |

| http://www.eventoffice.com.au/AHECC10 | The conference will be focused on health services preparedness for disaster response. Resilience is a word that is used often in multiple contexts to describe a corporate, business, enterprise, emotional, individual, organisational and/or societal capacity to cope, but only recently has it found purchase within the emergency management environment. Resilience is derived from the Latin word resilio, meaning to 'jump back', and in this context, from the impact of an adverse event, but more truly, perhaps as forward thinking organisations attempting to manage an increasingly uncertain and challenging environment, we should be seeking to develop the capability to also 'jump forward' in a way that contributes to our society.
Ideally suited participants are emergency management or procedures officers/coordinators/managers, fire safety officers, emergency procedures committee members/chairs or any person with an interest in or responsibility for health emergency procedures. | | Posted: 31 March 2010 |

Australia’s future general practice and primary health care system is to be built on and around primary health care organisations (PHCOs) which are to be created from the existing General Practice Network. Join our National Forum in November to be involved in discussion on:
- What are the key aspects of health reform and how will they result in better Connecting Care?
- What does driving primary health care reform mean for stakeholders?
- What progress has been made with establishing the first round of PHCOs – and what are the implications for those that are to follow soon afterwards?
- What are the critical success factors in transformational primary health care change?
- What future models of care will result in better health outcomes?
- How do we embrace reform while ensuring ongoing member engagement and support?
- What are the characteristics of new or enhanced partnerships essential to engage others central to primary health care reform – including nurses, allied health, community health, Local Hospital Networks and the Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Sector – as well as consumers and other community groups?
- What systems and processes are required to enable integrated care to best meet the needs of communities and individuals?
- Untapped potential: what are the opportunities to better integrate health and social care through PHCOs? | | Updated: 03 June 2010 / Posted: 04 March 2010 |

Scientific-Meeting-2011/Welcome.aspx
| We all gain knowledge in a variety of ways but a highlight of every year is our annual conference. The networking, camaraderie, informal discussions, peer reviews and debate are as integral to the success of the meeting as the content.
The keynote speakers will present pathways to learning that you find stimulating, innovating and new. Professor Stephanie Studenski, an academic and practising geriatrician will speak on one of our core topics: staying upright and keeping moving. Professor Steve Iliffe will talk on dementia, particularly from a community and primary care perspective. Professor Tim Wilkinson will present directly on pathways to learning: principals of adult learning, how to apply them and how we can teach ’on the run’. | | Posted: 23 June 2010 |
