Youth Health 2006 Conference -
Young People's Health-what's it going to take?
Sydney Showground Olympic Park Sydney Australia.

Young people are facing enormous challenges and difficulties, many
of which are substantially different to those experienced in earlier
and less troubled times. The fact that many of these risky
behaviours and problems are occurring at increasingly younger ages
underscores the urgency of addressing adolescent health issues in a
more effective way.

Hosted by The Department of Adolescent Medicine and the NSW Centre for the Advancement of Adolescent Health.

Women's and Children's Hospitals Australasia -
Teaming with Talent

Country Club in Launceston, Tasmania

This year’s conference will explore the evolution of healthcare teams and how effective teams can significantly improve quality of care and service delivery. Given the increasing trend toward health service redesign, and a move away from hierarchical structures, the health care ‘team’ is probably the most important consideration in advancing healthcare over the next decade.
