Dear Colleague,
It is with pleasure that I welcome you to register your abstract and attendance at the 2025 AOA WA Branch Scientific Papers Day, which will be followed by a cocktail party where Tash and I look forward to welcoming you to our home once again.
Scientific Meeting: 9:30am * Venue: Perth Children's Hospital
Social Cocktail Party: 6:00pm * onwards. Venue: D’Alessandro Residence
* subject to change – will be advised in the final program
Abstract submission and registration is now open via the meeting website and will close 5pm, Friday 17 January 2025 (AWST).
The best paper will be awarded the prestigious Allan Skirving Award where the prize winner will be invited to present their paper at the Annual Scientific Meeting in August as well as presented with a monetary prize.
I encourage you all to attend and show your support for our local research and orthopaedic community. None of us do this alone, and the Branch Scientific Papers Day is a great forum to acknowledge our junior colleagues who are at various stages of their orthopaedic journey.
In honour of Prof Markus Kuster all donations will be made to Médecins Sans Frontières.
We look forward to welcoming you to the meeting and a fabulous day both academically and socially.
A/Prof Peter D'Alessandro
WA Branch Scientific Convenor
