The conference was led by MC Luke Escombe, who brought everyone together, keeping attendees entertained and sharing his own patient journey and struggles since being diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease in his teenage years. All thoroughly enjoyed Luke’s wit and humour.
The jam-packed agenda saw 15 of the regions allied health professionals showcasing a variety of informative topics, as either 15-minute presentations or 5-minute posters. Each venue hosted presenters who were streamed live to the other locations and to attendees online.
A key takeaway message for the PHN was that many attendees were previously unaware of the support and training opportunities now offered to allied health professionals by the PHN.
