  • Your committee have had a very busy year since our last AGM.
  • We have held 5 successful networking and educational events including tonights programme.
  • Just a recap :
  • Half Day Seminar at the Keswick Army Barracks in November 2014( 100 attendees)
  • Bipartisan Event held in Mount Gambier , at Commodore on the Park, April 2015.( 50 attendees)
  • Bariatric Educational evening at QEH March 2015, where Dr Lynne Rainey spoke on Pre and intraoperative considerations for the bariatric patient and Peter Teekins spoke on Work , Health and Safety in relation to Bariatric patients ( 80 attendees)
  • June 2015 we visited Modbury Hospital for the first time and held an event on the Friday night due to speaker availability. Dr Ben Teague spoke about Lap Chole and inguinal hernia repair as a day case, followed by Dr Lynda D zouza providing an update on Post operative nausea nad vomiting management.( 50 attendees)
  • We have opted not to hold an event in November but instead, encourage you all to attend the NAtional conference being held Oct 17th and 18th on the Gold coast. Some of you may like to approach your place of work to ask for Professional Development financial assistance. The National Committee is also offering a chance to apply for financial assistance as well, so consider going to the DSNASA webpage for this information.
  • We have maintained our website, and facebook page. We experimented with uploadaing a video cast of the Bariatric evening with links to this on our webpage and facebook page, however despite this we have only had one person view a portion of this video.
  • We have strengthened our financial position and our treasurer will explain all this to you.
  • Our representation on the National Committee has continued
  • As a Committee we have learnt a lot about booking event venues and speakers, to our advantage, with roll on effects to our members in the years ahead.
  • Looking to the future, the remaining committee members have great experience and lots of ideas, however we do need some new volunteers on the committee in order for us to succeed.
