The 2009 CCRE SPINE Research Seminar Series started off on Wenesday April 1st with two presentations from international guests Dr Barbara Cagnie and Professor Lieven Danneels, both from Ghent University, Belgium.

The evening seminar from Prof Danneels was advertised to Clinicians in the South East Queensland area and had 70+ attendees on the night with some excellent feedback received.

Prof Danneels was also kind enough to have us record the seminar, and a copy of this recording can be requested via an email to ccrespine@uq.edu.au and a CD copy will be mailed to you. This is a first for the CCRE SPINE Seminar Series but hopefully future CCRE SPINE speakers will allow for us to record their presentations so that clinicians from outside SEQld will have access to the audio from our website free of charge. We have had an overwhelming interest in the series so far this year and for that reason we will aim to make as much information available from the seminars available online.

 

If you would like to request information in relation to one of the upcoming or previous seminars, please email ccrespine@uq.edu.au .
