Invitation

As the clock ticks down to the 15th World Congress on Medical Law, the organisers have been buoyed by the number and calibre of abstracts submitted. Representatives of approximately forty countries have submitted abstracts with many offering more than one abstract, thereby making this the first meeting of the World Association for Medical Law which will have both an active platform presentation program and an effective program of posters. This will accommodate the incredible amount of information that is to be shared amongst the participants.

The organising committee has kept the tried and true formula of plenary sessions, concurrent presentations and workshops but has added to that the poster presentations with dedicated time for participants to view the posters and discuss their content with the representative author.

The organisers have developed a price structure which includes a student registration fee to encourage overseas students to taste the best that the world has to offer and to give them a purpose and direction for their future career planning.

The Australian College of Legal Medicine, as the local host, has been pleased to receive the support of international bodies such as the International Council of Nurses; the World Health Organisation and the American College of Legal Medicine, to prepare this most exciting Congress on behalf of the World Association for Medical Law. We invite all like-minded people to attend the 15th World Congress on Medical Law to be held in Darling Harbour, one of the truly premier congress venues in the world, in Sydney, Australia which is also undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Delegates will have the confidence of knowing they are coming to a safe environment in a vibrant city in a country that has a proud heritage of scientific achievement, sporting excellence and internationally renowned landmarks both manmade and gifts from nature.

As promised in Maastricht, if more than 100 delegates register to attend a meeting to follow the Sydney Congress we would be pleased to organise a satellite Congress in Cairns, Queensland, to allow an academic environment in which to visit the Great Barrier Reef and witness first hand one of Nature's truly amazing gifts to this great country.

I conclude this invitation with the well-known Australianism of "G'Day Mate" and "See Ya Down-Under!"

With Kind Regards,

Roy G Beran
Congress President
