Australasian Association of Clinical Biochemists 57. Annual Scientific Conference-AACB 2019

The Australasian Association of Clinical Biochemists (AACB) and the 2019 Scientific Organising Committee would like to invite you to Adelaide, South Australia for the 57th AACB Annual Scientific Conference to be held at Adelaide Convention centre, from 15-17 October 2019.

The 2019 Conference theme is ‘Clinical Biochemistry: Optimising Value In Healthcare’.

Current focus in many healthcare disciplines, including pathology, is turning to value for money for payers and maximising health outcomes for patients. This years’ conference aims to showcase how optimizing use of Clinical Biochemistry and Laboratory Medicine can ‘add-value’ to laboratory testing by improving patient outcomes and enhancing the efficiency of the patient care pathway in addition to maintaining quality performance. The program will not only investigate the “Value Proposition” in terms of cost effectiveness, but will also explore recent biomarker discovery and implementation in clinical laboratories and beyond that leads to improved patient outcomes.

The 2019 David Curnow Plenary Lecturer is Professor Howard Morris, President of the IFCC, Professor of Laboratory Medicine, University of South Australia and Clinical Scientist at SA Pathology in Adelaide. Professor Morris will open the conference with his lecture on “Sustainable Healthcare: Is Quality Pathology the Key?” The Scientific Program will also include expert international and local plenary lecturers and several symposia each with a distinct theme, including paediatric medicine, lipid disorders, endocrine symposium, clinical cases and Informatics.

We have also scheduled two satellite meetings. On MONDAY 14 October 2019 there is a “Point of Care Testing Workshop” and on FRIDAY 18 October 2019 there is the next instalment of the popular "Quality Control workshop."

Come and enjoy the many attractions that Adelaide and its surrounds have to offer: from the fantastic wine regions close-by including the Barossa Valley (1 hour drive) /McLaren Vale (50 minutes’ drive) to the numerous dining experiences and tourist attractions in easy walking distance from the conference venue.

We look forward to seeing you in Adelaide in October!
