Welcome
On behalf of the Australasian Interprofessional Practice and Education Network (AIPPEN) and InterEd, we invite you to join us at the 5th All Together Better Health Conference being held from 6 - 9 April 2010 at the Novotel Sydney Manly Pacific, Australia.
The All Together Better Health conferences are the leading international interprofessional health and social care symposia. Conference 4 in the series was held in Sweden in June 2008 and was hosted by the Karolinska Institute and Linkoping University. Previous conferences have been successfully hosted by Imperial College, London and the University of British Columbia. The All Together Better Health conferences are supported by InterEd, the international association for Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice - a not for profit association.
We see things differently in the southern hemisphere. Therefore, we are encouraging diversity and innovation in the 2010 conference program. There will be diversity in the number, background, culture and experiences of our presenters and delegates. Health and social care professionals, practitioners, patients, consumers, administrators, policy makers and especially students are warmly invited to come and share their time and experiences with us. We will encourage discussion and debate, interactivity and international sharing and, in addition, we invite everyone to participate in the development of the Sydney Interprofessional Declaration to advance interprofessional education, learning and practice over the next two years. The Sydney Interprofessional Declaration will aim to ensure that the challenging and exciting dialogue from this important conference will continue into the future.
This conference offers an exciting opportunity for Australians and New Zealanders to engage with international thinkers, practitioners and patients. There will be something for all delegates, as well as the opportunity to enjoy one of Australia’s most vibrant cities and the beach culture that makes it so famous.
We hope to see you there.
