2010 PHC Research Conference - PHC research and health reform: Improving care

The PHC Research Conference goes 'Top End' to Darwin for the first time. It will be an exciting break from our southern winter and is shaping up to be an event you simply cannot miss. Here are ten top reasons why you need to be at this key annual event in Australian PHC research.

1. Hear some of the best Australian PHC research from researchers passionate about what they are doing. Whether you are a researcher or a research user, this is the place to be.
2. We have expanded beyond our shores and welcome our near neighbours from the Pacific Community. Hear what they have to say about PHC.
3. Networking is widespread at this Conference. Connections and careers are made here. Among the many social events is the very successful AAAPC poster reception where you can sip and nibble as you view posters and chat.
4. Speed mentoring happens here. Start at the welcome reception by introducing yourself to the leaders. They are friendly, keen to grow the profession and interested in others who are passionate about PHC research.
5. Share your stories, ideas and research with others - our lunchtime topic tables can help with this. Let us know the topic and we will set up a table sign so interested delegates can join you.
6. Learn more research skills – attend the skill building workshops.
7. Come for the launch of Snapshot 2010 – stories that demonstrate how research can improve the health of Australians.
8. Register early to get the best flights and accommodation. Early bird registration closes 14 May. Our draft program is already on-line.
9. Let us provide you with a unique taste of northern Australian culture you might not otherwise encounter – join us for the ‘unConference’ events.
10. Come to the conference and stay for the weekend - enjoy the Darwin culture, company and climate with friends and colleagues. There is so much to do here.
