BACCN International Conference 2009- 'an international perspective: cementing alliances and forging success'.

For those of you who managed to attend the BACCN Conference at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast, Northern Ireland from 14 to 16 September 2009, I would like to thank you all on behalf of the BACCN National Board. Your attendance, contribution and attentiveness to the sessions, along with your networking (both professional and social!) made the whole conference a great success. Thank you to all those that have provided objective comments and feedback, these have been reviewed and will assist with the planning for the 2010 conference in Southport. Yes, the planning is already well under way. For those of you that were unable to join us at the conference this year I would just like to share in this edition of ‘News’ a flavour of the conference through the different sections.
