HIV & Wellness Workshop # 17

For the second year, Iris Education has received funding by ViiV Healthcare to run the HIV & Wellness Workshop  which is now in its 17th year.  It is somewhat of a long term survivor due to the financial support of ViiV Healthcare and the committee that drives this workshop. The HIV & Wellness Workshop is about providing educational updates in HIV trends and fostering good networks for health care professionals working in both the community and Government HIV sectors.
​
The workshop always focus on the issues of people living with HIV and the audience is normally a mix of Doctors, Nurses, Allied Health and Community Workers from the HIV sector from across Queensland.  This year the event is scheduled to be held on Saturday, 22nd June 2019 from 10.30 am to 4.00 pm and will be held at the Brisbane International Virginia
