Conference

Sue Charles – Conference Chair

The IFPA is fully committed to education and continuing professional development (CPD), therefore as Conference Chair I organise annual conferences for the benefit of members and the continuing growth of their knowledge base.

During the last couple of years we have opened access up to all of our conferences, to other health care practitioners, friends and family members and indeed to anyone who wishes to come along and share the high standards of education and learning that the IFPA is known to hold.

Conference locations vary from year to year so that it gives the best chance for as many interested people to attend and gain from the experience that we have to offer.

The IFPA conferences are a means by which we are able to learn, update skills, network, to meet new and old friends and have a pleasant place to relax, refresh and unwind in our very busy and occupied lives. At the same time you will gain valuable CPD points and also be able to browse the varied trade stands where you will see some wonderful and irresistible products.
