Even Through All Adversity

摘要

It is with great pride and pleasure that I write this letter almost immediately following the BARNA annual conference and exhibition. It is indeed that 'even through all adversity' we managed to hold a successful, interactive and enjoyable conference as the present financial and economic climate does not make it easy for a delegate, that's for sure. We were back in our usual summertime spot which meant that we were only seven months from our re-launch conference, and you did not let us down! We had a healthy attendance and fantastic commercial support, not to mention the outstanding speakers who gave us their expertise, knowledge and time making for an informative and interesting programme. We were very fortunate to have J.P. Nolan, Acute Nurse Advisor to the Royal College of Nursing to deliver our keynote speech, which was thought provoking and inspiring.
