In August 2013 the Health Roundtable held it’s very first meeting specifically aimed at paediatric services. At this meeting it was agreed that the Health Roundtable should form a Paediatric benchmarking group due to the unique issues involved in the care of children.  Click here for information brouchure

 
The key theme for this year’s meeting will be respiratory disorders as they commonly appear in the “Top10” report of potential bed day savings. We will facilitate the comparison of practices between hospitals and identification of exemplars. Optional tour of  Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne on the afternoon before the meeting (12th March) but there are strictly limited numbers — register early if you are interested!
 

Delegate Registrations may be cancelled up to 6 March 2014, with a full credit of monies paid. After that date, no credits are possible. However, you may substitute a different person for those registered at any time. Hotel and airfare arrangements are separate, and may have different policies regarding cancellations and name changes. Please contact them directly.

Note: Delegates are responsible for making their own accommodation and travel/flight arrangements. If you require accommodation please book before 12 February 2014. Requests for accommodation after this date will be subject to availability at the time of booking.
