18.01.2022 Another busy week....Karla presented on behalf of the Telehealth Access Made Easier project at the Aged Care Services Tasmania project in Launceston. Thanks to Mark Kirschbaum for stepping in as the Chairperson for this workshop, and thanks also to Darren Grattidge, the UDRHs official photographer, for making himself available. Joys been out at and about training health professionals at Oatlands. Heathers workshops with Dr Michael Carr-Gregg - the nationally registered child and adolescent psychologist - were a huge success. We congratulate Michael (and his lovely wife Mel) on becoming parents to a healthy baby boy. A special welcome back to Dr Jess Woodroffe - Jess, we missed you!
