If you missed this amazing event, now is your opportunity to see our highlights reel!

Thanks to everyone who attended the 14th World Rural Health Conference. It's hard to pick a highlight - there's so many to choose from! So here's some stand out events from the four days of conferencing.

Life's unfair - get used to it!

Professor Ian Couper had the crowd rolling in the aisles with his passionate keynote presentation about social determinants in practice. His WONCA Survivor game did in fact end in one sole survivor, who had beaten the odds of his country to attend our event.

Outback Bush Emergencies

Dr Bill Nimo (Vasilios Nimorakiotaki) gave our international audience a chance to get up close and personal with a python, as he spoke about the ways to treat snakebites and other poisonous bites in the Australian outback.

#ruralseeds sprouting at WONCA

This event was applauded for its student program, which didn't disappoint. The launch of the #ruralseeds Rural Café was a huge success, rising in popularity in the conference app and of course on Twitter! Follow Rural Seeds on twitter to see the next event.

Aussie slang on show

Our opening plenary took off with a bang when Tarun Sen Gupta shared with delegates some common Aussie slang, his two sidekicks offering helpful translations along the way. Again we saw a crowd bent double in laughter, when Tarun removed his suit for a more common Australian outfit – board shorts and a t-shirt!
