INVITATION
It is with great pleasure we invite you to Adelaide, South Australia for the 19th Biennial World Council of Enterostomal Therapists Congress from 19th to 23rd April 2012 at the world class Adelaide Convention Centre.
Our theme “Weaving Culture, Education and Technology into a Brilliant Blend” encompasses the vision of WCET of bringing the world together, sharing experiences, learning new techniques and celebrating our unique differences. We will have world class speakers in Ostomy, Wound and Continence management with a Paediatric stream throughout. There will be an opportunity to network with others from around the world, present research and be part of an exciting, innovative and irresistible congress. The scientific program is not to be missed. Adelaide is a diverse multicultural city. It is safe and picturesque with the beautiful Torrens River running through the city and parklands. The city offers exceptional food and wine and best of all it is easily accessible from all corners of the world. South Australia offers a wide range of experiences, from the wineries of the Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills, white sandy beaches and the unique Kangaroo Island to the rugged outback of the Flinders Ranges and beyond.
So please come and experience the diverse Australian culture Down Under.
On behalf of the Organising Committee,
Fiona Bolton
