The format of the evening were 2 presentations by a Senior Manager at a leading clinical research facility and Associate Professor Annette Braunack-Mayer, Professor of Health Ethics in the School of Public Health at University of Adelaide and Chair of Bellberry Committee F, followed by a Q&A session.

The event was extremely well received with over 50 people, many from interstate, in attendance.  Many thanks to all our members for their invaluable input and to our guest speakers who made the sessions both interesting and thought provoking.
