We are back!
Dr Louise Schaper
Welcome to our first AIDH newsletter for 2022 - a year that I hope will offer greater opportunity for all of us to connect and participate in person. 2021 was tough for many and we look forward to bringing you our 2022 program of workforce, advocacy initiatives and events throughout 2022.

We kick off our year with the Digital Health Institute Summit next week which will be a wonderful opportunity to meet many of our members and organisational partners. New speakers continue to be added to the program and I encourage you to view our keynote previews and the impressive list of speakers.

Tomorrow also marks the beginning of our inaugural Women in Digital Health program. We would like to congratulate the 27 women, from diverse areas of work in digital health who will take part in the national capacity building and leadership program. Keep an eye out for more stories and experiences as the participants work through the learning and networking opportunities over the coming months.

Here's to a bigger and brighter 2022!
