WE REGRET TO ADVISE THIS CONFERENCE HAS BEEN CANCELLED
Cancellation of the Rural and Remote Retrieval Weekend - 14 to 17 May 2020
As you're aware WA Health has been continuing to strengthen their response to the Novel Coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19).
With that in mind, Rural Health West have decided that the Rural and Remote Retrieval Weekend, scheduled for the 14 to 17 May in Karijini National Park will not proceed.
While this is a disappointing outcome for all of us, part of the broader health sector’s planning for the COVID-19 outbreak has involved making sure the right people, protocols and processes are in place to continue delivering high-quality health services across rural and regional WA.
We’d like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the ongoing efforts of all healthcare workers at this challenging time.
Kind regards,
Rural Health West
