AWCH attended the Youth Health2011 – It’s Totally Important Conference in November in Sydney.

The conference ran over 3 days and was a wonderful mix of professionals and young people coming together to discuss youth health.

AWCH jointly hosted a pre-conference workshop which had a morning session discussing the rights of young people in healthcare and the standards required to protect those rights followed in the afternoon with presentations and discussion about training and workforce development in adolescent healthcare.

Click on the report to read about the workshop, go to www.youthhealth2011.com.au and follow the tweets or check out the program at www.youthhealth2011.com.au/program/conference-program/
