Invitation to Attend

The Australian Private Hospitals Association (APHA) will be holding its 30th Annual National Congress from 17 – 19 October 2010 at the Hilton Hotel in Sydney.  With a theme of “Private Hospitals Speaking Up” we will hear from prominent speakers on the issues private hospitals are talking about, including a wide variety of topics such as Medical & Nursing Training, the Future of Surgery, Performance Reporting, MyHospitals and the Growth in Exclusionary Products.

In addition to the Congress sessions, the accompanying social program will be focussed on celebrating the 30th Annual APHA Congress providing a unique opportunity to network with colleagues from around the country.  Following  the success of last year’s Congress, which saw the highest delegate turn out in the last ten years, the 2010 APHA Congress promises to be the “not to be missed” event for all those involved in the private hospital and healthcare industry.

I encourage all APHA members to attend this important event and keep abreast of the latest trends and issues facing Australia’s private hospitals in the years to come.

Michael Roff
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Australian Private Hospitals Association
