Dear all,

Thanks to everyone’s contribution - organisers, speakers, sponsors, secretariat and the event organisers, the meeting was a resounding success.
As promised, the slides are now available for download from the Programme Section of the AFH 2010 website. The slides are in PDF format so you will need Adobe reader or some compatible software to view them. Please note that most but not all the lectures are available for download.
Photographs of the event are also available for viewing here

Regards

Alan Teh

Addendum: While Dr. Moreau was unable to come to the meeting because of the Volcanic Ash, he has been kind enough to provide use with the slides of his lecture on “Treatment advances in frontline myeloma and the management of elderly patients” which we have uploaded as well.

If you have any feedback or comments, you may place a comment on this posting.

After been given the opportunity by the current President to be the Conference Photographer, I have worked out a workflow for the photographs. I imagine the photographs will be uploaded on the same evening. I have also uploaded the photos from the last meeting in 2008, which can be viewed on this link - http://bit.ly/afh-photos

The link will send you straight onto a slideshow link. Please then click on the appropriate links. During the slideshow, click on the photos which you like, to be sent to a menu for downloading the photos. The photos will be in resolution enough for printing to size of 6 by 4 inches. Looking forward to snapping all of you during the meeting!

The Specialist Training and Credentialing page has been updated. The Registration as Clinical Trainee in Haematology form has been uploaded and from the page you can download it. Trainees please fill and submit to the secretariat.
Thank you.
