Hello
I posted details of a conference I'm organising about Health Information for
Children and Young People a couple of weeks ago. I know there are people
who want to attend, but can't get the level of funding, so I've been looking at
ways to reduce the costs, and thereby reduce the registration fee.
I’ve managed to do so and reduce the cost to £155 for the whole conference
(2 days) or £80 if you want to attend for just one day. I really hope this
makes it accessible for more people.
