Dear Member,
It was fantastic to kick off the spring time with the UCA Spring Conference. As usual it was a wonderful mix of speakers giving an array of learning opportunities and sharing their knowledge with the group and we thank them for giving up their time to speak. Due to the various post covid restrictions still in force around the world we thank those that were able to travel for making the effort to do so and those that weren’t we thank them for doing a pre-record of their talks and we hope to be able to welcome them in person at future events. Looking ahead to future events CE is scheduled for 5/6th November and we will endeavour to have all speakers fully live, restrictions willing.
There were 150+ attendees at Spring conference which is an excellent turn out and thank you to the UCA head office team from bringing it all together. Seeing so many people attend just reiterates the need for connection within the profession and at large to be able to come together and engage with one another. Part of that engagement outside of the conference room itself is the trade area and the traders certainly turned up in force for the Spring Conference with some still applying right until the event! They really help add that extra sparkle to the breaks which we as an association appreciate and hopefully they provide an opportunity for UCA members to look at new and innovative equipment, products and teaching aids to bring that next level of service to their practice members.
We felt it was appropriate to close this weeks’ news and views with an acknowledgment and look at the world at large. Whilst it was great for us to be able to be together in safety and security at the Radisson Red Hotel Heathrow, it is a sad dichotomy that in other parts of the world conflict reigns and suffering ensues. Many of us work and live in a privileged scenario that we may often inadvertently take for granted, something I’m sure was not wasted on many of you last weekend as we enjoyed the day.
To that end let us always appreciate the good fortune we currently experience, be mindful of how quickly the wind can change, and stand tall and stand strong however and wherever we can to have a positive impact in the world no matter how small.
Yours in Health,
UCA Head Office Team
