NIA 2009 - National Annual Conference
2009 Aged Care Informatics Symposium
The successful completion of the inaugural Health Privacy Futures conference - HPF'08, brought together healthcare providers, consumers and Australia's leading privacy experts, to help bring clarity and definition to this critical issue. Through HPF ’08 innovative workshops, outstanding presentations and engaging speakers, HPF ‘08 has succeeded in offering better understanding of the national perspective and making a significant contribution to setting the national regulatory framework for the future of health privacy. In addition, our sponsors’ company display stands provided another interactive networking opportunity for the delegates.
You can download conference presentations from HPF ’08 website, which is still open and contains details on speakers, workshops, presentations and more.
We are thrilled with the achievement of HPF ‘08 in Brisbane and are looking forward to the next HPF Conference in 2010 – check back here for more details.
