The first AOA COE meeting will be in Adelaide, 14th-16th May.

Topics include trauma, arthroscopy and arthroplasty. There will be many basic and advanced workshops to enable the participant to get hands on experience in the management of these disorders.
The conference aims to cater for general and subspecialist surgeon.

As there has been a considerable interest in the Adelaide meeting
and a number of Plastic Surgeons may wish to attend for one day - the AOA has
agreed that a one day fee will be available on this occasion at the cost
of $250.00 including GST
Whilst this is specific to the Plastic Surgeons/Registrars should any of
AHSS members wish to participate they can do so on the website and
indicate that fee on the registrar/other health professional level on the
registration form
