CLAPA Conference 2011 Videos

CLAPA Conference 2011 was a huge success – we would like to thank everyone that attended, especially the health professionals for giving up their time for free.

We had a record number of over 80 attendees, and the feedback for the day was very positive:

“Well done, very informative. Thank you!”

“It was wonderful to meet such lovely people from all sides of the CLAPA family.”

“We came away from the day feeling really well informed and impressed with the set and structure of the day as well as the effort gone to by all those involved.”

For the first time ever we were filming the presentations throughout the day. They are now available to watch online - just click the links to go to our Vimeo page. Soon they will be available on the CLAPA website as well.

Please send us in any feedback you have about the presentations to , as it would be very helpful for us to have when planning next year’s conference.
