ESA Rural and Regional Endocrinology Special Interest Group NETWORKING BREAKFAST

Saturday 27th April from 6:30-8:00AM

This year we will be hosting a satellite breakfast meeting for those with an interest in rural, remote or regional endocrinology. The Rural Breakfast, chaired by Dr Beth Crinall and Dr Sheila Cook, will be a chance for ESA Seminar delegates to hear from inspiring endocrinologists working in unique non-metropolitan settings, including Matt Hare whose work focuses on understanding and addressing the intergenerational diabetes epidemic among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

 Featuring focused discussions about the opportunities and challenges of practicing endocrinology in rural, remote and regional areas, this will also provide an opportunity for networking.

 We encourage endocrinologists and general physicians practicing rural endocrinology to attend. Additionally, we welcome trainees with an interest in rural endocrinology, and metropolitan endocrinologists wanting to engage with issues impacting their rural patients and colleagues.

 Please join us for the inaugural Rural Breakfast, a chance to form a community, discuss innovative ideas, inspire, encourage and support those making valuable contributions in these unique and impactful locations.

This meeting will be livestreamed for virtual delegates.

Dr Matt Hare
