The Australian Cardiovascular Health & Rehabilitation Association welcomes you to a celebration of our 21st birthday in the meeting place of the nation, Canberra. The 2010 Annual Scientific Meeting of ACRA will provide opportunities to reflect on our past achievements and consider the challenges ahead, how we can change the face of cardiovascular health and rehabilitation in Australia, and showcase our achievements.

We look forward to sharing both international and local innovations, as well as some exciting opportunities to enjoy the many attractions that are unique to Canberra. Come along and meet Professor Neil Oldridge, the author of the MacNew Quality of Life questionnaire and other tools we use everyday in cardiac rehabilitation.

There will be something for all with an interest in cardiovascular health and rehabilitation, whether it be as a deliverer of care, a researcher, a teacher, a cultural health worker, an administrator or manager, any aspect of community health, or from the policy perspective.
