Dear Jo Thank you so much for the hospitality of yourself and that of the board for the SWOHN Conference which took place yesterday. I hope my paper was useful. The speakers were excellent as was the organisation of the conference. Well worth the trip to Exeter. This is the second of your conferences I have attended. The distances travelled by delegates and speakers was impressive and reflected the very high quality of the event Each of the speakers were excellent, I found the presentations given by the OH Physician Dr Steve Boorman and the physio Jonathon Daniel particularly useful and engaging. It was also good to see physios in the audience. I do hope that you are able to maintain in future years the very high standard you have set. Might I suggest for a future event that you consider inviting Damian Edwards of the National Obesity Forum. Damien is advising the government on tackling the challenges of obesity. He is another extremely engaging speaker - I am sure he could have a lucrative career as an after dinner speaker - not speaking on obesity of course but I am sure he could turn his hand to speaking on anything. I met Damian at a recent military workshop.
