Found the conference: Fun. Relevant. Stimulating. Worthwhile.

I love these conferences. I come away feeling refreshed and ready to tacke new things in the system, based on advice provided to me. It's great meeting the people in your industry and getting to know those that I've met previously better. It's a great networking time which is important in our jobs.

Very interesting. Topics were of relevance and documentation well setout — enough to refer back at home. Food was very enjoyable and the surrounds. Thank you. Patrick excelled himself for innovation. It's a good networking exercise for users and PowerHealth staff.
Thank you for organising this conference. I appreciate the work that goes into getting it together and it's a good mix of people who understand the industry.
Liked Best: Meeting users from outside Victoria, listening to new initiatives and observing the growth of PBA products. These are all engagements with the company which you don't have in the silence of cyber support.
2006: Ms Josephine Beer from The Royal Women's Hospital (Victoria)
Thanks very much for organizing the conference – it wasn’t just great it was FANTASTIC! The conference was great. The venue was lovely, wonderful food, entertaining conference dinner and good conference facilities.
It was really helpful to get away from our busy work environments to talk with other sites and hear about their successes and the things they are happy with and proud of achieving — lots of great ideas and contacts to inspire us all.
2006: Mr Alan Kerle from Northern Sydney Central Coast Area Health Service
The opportunity to network and see what other sites are doing was excellent. I take away a number of ideas and hope to be better positioned in the longer term as a direct result of the conference. The general theme of the conference was excellent.
