General: ANSA Conference Prices Revised to Enable More Nurses to Attend
Posted 3rd March 2008
In the past 3 months there have been significant documents released from the NTA, Department of Health and NICE:
- 2008 Drug Strategy
- 3 month Consultation on Clinical Governance NTA
- UK Clinical Guidelines 2007
- Non-medical prescribing Guidelines 2007
Substance Misuse Nursing has never been higher on the agenda.
In light of this we have revised the cost of our 2008 National Conference, keeping the price as low as possible to enable more nurses to attend.
The revised cost is just £39.00 per person, plus £10 per person for accommodation if required.
The conference is being held 27-28 March, at Chester University. Come and join us and influence the future of Nursing in Substance Misuse!
