Dr Steve Allen Announced as Speaker for National Conference
Dr Steve Allen, Senior Lecturer in Paediatrics at Swansea University and Course Coordinator of their International Health module, has kindly agreed to come and speak during our National Conference on the 20th-21st of February.
He will delivery the Plenary Speech to around 100 students on the Saturday afternoon on the topic of "Where do infants and children die?". He will explore the main direct caues of death and disability and what are the main risk factors? This will lead into a discussion on the obstacles and opportunities to improving children's health, a topic close to the hearts of many of those involved with SKIP, and is sure to interest all of those attending the National Conference.
The National Conference is an opportunity for the 12 branches around the UK to come together and share ideas and inspiration for each other's work in the developing world. SKIP Members will also receive training from the National Committee and Executive Board, aimed at making interventions carried out over the summer months as effective as they can be.
SKIP would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr Allen for giving us his time. The Spring 2010 National Conference is shaping up to be a thoroughly interesting and exciting weekend.
