I was delighted to attend and learnt a lot and met some lovely people. The speakers were all very engaging and enthusiastic. I don't think I have ever been at a conference that so many people stayed until the end, especially on a Saturday! That is testament to the line-up you organised. Well done. I hope it makes a difference. Dr J Younge Testimonials Thank you Tracey. The conference was fantastic, you did a really good job of organising things.
