COMMENTS FROM 2004 CONFERENCE
* Absolutely excellent want to do it again!!! Soon!
* Having it in the Lake District was like the icing on the cake, I
couldn't have chosen better. All in all it was just fantastic.
* I have attended many conferences over the years and felt this
was the best I have been to.
* What did you least enjoy about the conference?: having to go
home.
* The energy and excitement which is generated by the conference
is very special and so important for midwifery*can't wait for the next
one!
* I feel inspired!
* There wasn't a single session that I didn't enjoy. My only
complaint is that I could manage another 10 days.
* This conference has really inspired me. It made me feel hopeful
and motivated. It has cost me thousands of dollars to come (from
Australia) and every cent was worth it*
* Overall, a fantastically inspirational event*
