The 5th ANSA Annual Conference this year was a roaring success. This was held in the fantastic brand new state-of-the-art Hayley Conference Centre in Swindon on 8th - 9th June.
85 delegates benefited from some truly mind-blowing presentations on a wide range of topics around the theme of “Broadening the Horizon of Anaemia Management.”
These topics provided valuable information and insight across the whole spectrum ….. from the old (?!) issue of PRCA and is there closure?, right through to the inspirational computerized interventions that have been devised to assist anaemia management in Germany.
Central to this theme, Keynote Speaker Dr David Van Wyck from Arizona, enthralled us with his passion for the impressive work he has undertaken in iron studies within chronic kidney disease patients. Additionally, it was also hugely exciting to hear throughout the seminars, about the increasing role of nurses in major research projects and in the development of the NICE guidelines, whose publication are eagerly awaited this September.
As if this wasn’t enough the evening entertainment also broadened a few horizons! …. A ground –shaking opportunity for those brave enough to kick up their heels and barn dance into the twilight hours!
The AGM was attended by 29 members and was an opportunity for the Executive Committee to share their hopes and plans for the forthcoming development of ANSA and its future projects in 2006-2007.
Overall feedback from attendees was exceedingly positive and the whole 1 ½ day event enabled high-quality education to be delivered and networking opportunities to be undertaken in a relaxed and friendly environment.
