Testimonials from 2007 Conference
“I did discover lots of other stuff at the meeting and I came home invigorated and proud to be in General Practice”  Dr Colum Farrelly

“Those who missed the Gala Dinner missed something very special - more than one person felt that it was the best evening they had had "for years" and that, mixed with a successful conference has, no doubt, accounted for the fact that, before the conference was even over, delegate places have been booked for next year and sponsors have already pledged support for next year”. Graham Archard re social programme
