Cardiorespiratory Physiotherapy Australia

Sydney, 1-3 October 2009

It is with great pleasure that on behalf of Cardiorespiratory Physiotherapy Australia (CRPA) we invite you to attend the CRPA 11th Biennial National Scientific Conference in Sydney, 1st-3rd October 2009.

Join us for the wonderful opportunity to network with CRPA and wider APA colleagues in conjunction with updating yourself with the latest scientific research and clinical practice.

The CRPA Scientific Committee are preparing a stimulating program blending invited plenary sessions, oral research presentations, new 5 x 5 presentations (5 slides in 5 minutes), Physiotherapy Research Foundation orations, breakfast sessions, a research workshop, combined APA groups plenaries and a debate. Invited speakers include Professor Richard Casaburi from the USA, Professor Alice Jones from Hong Kong, A/Prof Anne Holland, Dr Amanda Piper, A/Prof Sue Jenkins, Dr Kylie Hill, Dr David Berlowitz, Dr Ben Harris, Professor Paul Seale plus more.

The variety of the program and the pre conference workshop will provide you with a challenging and thought-provoking time with multiple learning opportunities that should satisfy your professional needs.

The social program is looking as exciting as ever with both a cocktail party and a Sydney Harbour Cruise followed by after-party already in planning.

We look forward to meeting you at APA Conference Week in Sydney 2009!
