National Meeting showcases innovation and partnerships
Innovation, collaboration and consumer engagement were themes explored at the 2018 Choosing Wisely Australia National Meeting held in Canberra last month, with more than 200 delegates in attendance.
We were pleased to host so many representatives from our member and supporter organisations, health departments and the health profession, as well as consumers, researchers and students.
