NURHC 2010

The National University Rural Health Conference is the premier professional development event for NRHSN members.  Held in Alice Springs in 2010 the conference connected both future and current rural health professionals, along with some of the country's foremost rural and remote health bodies.  It enabled students from a variety of disciplines and background to get together for shared learning and networking opportunities that benefited both the students and the future communities they will serve.

NURHC '10 was held from 15-17th July, in the Northern Territory with over 400 allied health, medical and nursing members, stakeholders and health professionals in attendance.  Ernie Dingo as conference MC was a highlight of NURHC 2010, as was the stunning location of Alice Springs.
