Welcome to OSSANZ 2012
Dear Colleagues
It is with great pleasure that I welcome each and everyone of you to Darwin and to our 24th Annual Scientific Meeting of OSSANZ.
The Conference theme ‘Bariatric Surgery – more than an operation’ will incorporate a multidisciplinary approach to obesity surgery and will explore not only the basic science of obesity but current trends, approaches and issues facing bariatric surgeons and allied health. The OSSANZ Program and Executive Committees have worked hard to provide not only an educational but an interesting experience for both surgeons and allied health professionals.
With Australia’s most youthful population and tropical climate, the acclaimed Darwin Harbour offers a diverse range of activities ranging from its Aboriginal heritage, World War II history, Cyclone Tracy and confiscated Indonesian fishing vessels. This energetic city with its colourful past offers at its cosmopolitan foreshore harbour entertainment, spectacular sunsets, authentic Territory fare, world class fishing experiences and the flavours of five continents.
OSSANZ meetings have been always a time to catch up with colleagues and friends, meet new ones and a time to learn or impart new knowledge to each other. I invite you to take the opportunity to interact, collaborate and catch-up during this meeting amidst one of Australia’s most cosmopolitan city
I look forward to interacting and sharing our meeting in Darwin with all our members.
