In-personYou are cordially invited to attend the inaugural NSW Branch Conference to be held in the beautiful Hunter Valley. This weekend event is planned to be enjoyable, informal, family-friendly and CPD-rich. Talks will be short, punchy, fact-filled and/or agreeably contentious.
The Conference will cover a diverse range of topics from the challenges and opportunities facing psychiatry to creativity and innovation within psychiatry. There will be an emphasis on fellowship, spirited debate, and a focus on the needs of trainees, private practitioners, and international medical graduates. It promises to be educational, engaging, and entertaining!
