1st Annual Conference held on 12th November 2004 at Regent’s College Conference Centre

A note from Pauline Ronson, Secretary, S.A.Ac.

This was the Society’s first Annual Conference held in London. A lot of hard work and effort went into the organising of it but from the comments we received on the feedback forms, it turned out to be a worthwhile and interesting event. I would like to take this opportunity of thanking all speakers from other organisations who took the time and trouble to give us excellent and informative talks – Mike O’Farrell, Chief Executive, British Acupuncture Council; Terry Cullen, Chair, British Complementary Medicine Association; Martin McLean, Regional Prison Drug Services Manager for Avon & Wiltshire Trust; John Bransfield, Manager, DAIS, Hounslow. Our thanks also go to Oxford Medical Supplies who sponsored the event. The Regent’s College Conference Centre proved to be an excellent venue.

Some of the people who attended wrote on their feedback forms:

‘It was very nice to see our colleagues again and meet new practitioners with different backgrounds and experience. The food was excellent. Very informative talks by excellent choice of speakers. Thank you. The sense of belonging to S.A.Ac. is more solid and the next phase appears more exciting’
