We welcome you to attend the 44th Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) of the Australian and New Zealand Burn Association (ANZBA) which will be held at The Westin Perth and online from 13 – 15 October 2021.
On behalf of the entire organising committee I would like to welcome you to Perth Oct 13-15, 2021 for our Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) themed Changing the Focus. Having cancelled our meeting in Perth last year due to the global pandemic, we are excited to be able to come together this year and reconnect professionally and socially (face to face) at the Westin Perth. In 2019 we posed the question ‘What’s your vision for burncare in 2020?’ Of course so much has happened since then….we have witnessed the unfolding of a global pandemic, many millions of people have lost their lives to Coronavirus, and we have all experienced enormous changes in many areas of our lives. Moreover, there have been enormous challenges and changes across healthcare during this time – including our own specialty of Burns. Changing the Focus will allow us to reflect, present and discuss clinical burn care, burns research, education, and prevention in these changing covid times.
We are looking forward to welcoming you in-person for the ASM this year. After many months (and years) without travel, we hope that you will take advantage of Australia / New Zealand borders ‘opening-up’ and travelling safely to Western Australia for our ANZBA meeting. Come and experience Perth and all that it has to offer in the beautiful Springtime. Make a holiday of your visit…’wander out yonder’ to the Margaret River wine region, Rottnest Island, North to the Coral Coast, or up to the incredible Kimberely. Western Australia has a multitude of options for an amazing holiday (before or after the ASM.)
And for those who are unable to travel to Perth for the ASM, we will have an online option for delegates and presenters.
I personally look forward to welcoming you to our meeting in October.
