AFF Medical Meet?

[docjames]

I'm already booked for the AMAQ conference in Spain in September if anyone wants to join

That one looked great (?Madrid wasnt it?) but i'll be in SFO for ICAAC in early September.

Declaring no conflicts of interest, can I heartily endorse the ASHM conference. It's a really great conference for anyone remotely interested in HIV Medicine. The ASHM website also has great resources.

24th Australasian HIV/AIDS Conference

October 17th to 19th Australia / Melbourne Infectious Disease
Contact: , Conference Secretariat , Australasian Society for HIV Medicine
Phone: 011-61-2-8204-0770
Fax: 011-61-2-9212-4670
Email: [email protected]
Website: Australasian HIV/AIDS Conference - Home

My attendance at the First AFFMM (gotta have a good abbreviation - Aust Freq Fly Medical Meeting seems a good one) will be subject to leave pass. Given I'm starting a new role in Mid September, and away early September, I may be pushing my luck with both work and mrsdoc to try and get away again in Late September/ Early October.

I should be able to make any city, however our family USA trip looms - bit likely to be more centered around school hols (+- either side).

I'll vote for anywhere warm! Sick of this winter weather! Reckon we can get dive medicine into the program?? (haven't used my scuba licence since I got it in April!).

 

[Bundy Bear]

I hope everyones medical skills are better than your organizing skills for meetings.

Hmmm dive medicine
theres teh SPUMS meetings

Now how can i get pressure changes related to altitude/depth into an aviation interest meeting?

If someone is interested in doing the organising, I feel they should just pick a date and location, announce it and start the planning. Any weekend will be guaranteed to have a few of us away, and school holidays will be better for some and worse for others. It should have/be at a Hilton, however. Who isn't diamond or gold here?

I think drron is fairly SPG-positive. I'm only SPG Gold by virtue of the Amex card.

I'm toying with the idea of putting my hand up to organise this, but I'm a little apprehensive. I know people like munitalP are very good at organising these things and I am unlikely to do as successful a job at this as he could. The other issue is that I've met so few of you in person. Perhaps I will feel better about this after I meet a pile of you at the end of the year AFF dinner in Melbourne - there are a few of us medicos there.

I'm SPG nothing, and couldn't organise a p!ss up in a brewery by myself but I'm very happy to help out in any way I can

Come have an anaesthetic and find out!

 

[drron]

Today I feel an urgent need for us to study Evidence based Administration.:evil::evil:

 

[yo yo ma]

I missed this thread - I am an ED Nurse Practitioner working locum shifts on the Sunshine Coast in between the oil rigs (PNG)... I would love to join in if dates work out.

 

[beardoc]

Seriously, I am happy to organise this - it is going to be a matter of dates. It strikes me that medical people are tied up for months in advance, so maybe a six months window from planning to event occurring might be a reasonable window. That would suggest about April-June next year. I will start thinking about this. Given I'm hardly an accomplished event planner, you might have to go easy on me. Unless maybe someone wants to assist and work together on it?

I had a lovely degustation dinner at Sepia last week for $150 (food only), which is Sydney's latest 3 hat restaurant. If the event is held in Sydney, maybe we could consider going there...

 

[Cynicor]

Sounds good, to Sepia and Beardoc/Princess Fiona.

Put a date out there and let the games begin!

HAppy to be academic convenor!
