Primary Health Care Nurses Conference 2010

"Changing Face" - Revolutionising the Face of Primary Health Care

Around 300 delegates gathered at the Waipuna Conference Centre in Mt Wellington for the Primary Health Care Nurses conference from June 25 - 27.  

At the end of a long session-packed day delegates unwound with a glass of wine and perused trade displays at the cocktail function and exhibition opening.  

New Zealand Doctor journalist Jen de Montalk snapped a few bright-eyed nurses debriefing after day one.
