There was a great attendance at the IPNA Annual Educational Conference on 14th/15th October 2011 in the Tullamore Court Hotel (hosted by the IPNA South Tipperary Branch). We hope that all delegates enjoyed the weekend and found the educational speakers, clinical workshops and research presentations to be interesting and valuable for their day-to-day practice. We also hope you enjoyed all the networking, laughter and the annual catch up with friends & colleagues!
Congratulations to the winners of the various educational awards, huge thanks to the NEC Officers who stood down from their roles at the AGM and a warm welcome to the new NEC Officers who were elected to those roles.
Two of the speakers' presentations have been posted in the Members Area of this website.
