Thank you!

The ANZFPS welcomed around 300 delegates to Dunedin, New Zealand for the 4th ANZFPS Conference. We are delighted with the very positive feedback!

With experts from around the globe, this conference included the very latest falls prevention research, relevant and practical issues for clinicians, researchers, healthcare funders and providers. In particular we thank the workshop presenters, the plenary session speakers, the concurrent session speakers, and all those who presented a poster. We are grateful to the session chairs, the timekeepers, and the judges for the student prizes (John Campbell, Lesley Gillespie, Bob Laventure, Dawn Skelton and Stephanie Woodley). A sincere thank you to all the delegates who attended.
