ASPiH Conference 2011 – Latest News

The Association for Simulated Practice in Healthcare Annual Conference was held at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff on 9th and 10th November, with additional Masterclasses held on Tuesday 8th November.  The event was a huge success, with over 250 delegates in attendance, as well as representatives from all areas of industry.

The ASPiH Executive Committee would like to extend their grateful thanks to all presenters, sponsors, exhibitors and delegates who attended and contributed towards making the conference even bigger and better than last year.  We hope the conference in 2012 will be another great event, and are already underway with planning another fantastic conference.
