Keep these dates free!   Join us in Melbourne in November 2012

We have heard much about standardisation of assays over recent years. Great strides have been made. What assays can be standardised and what assays can be harmonised to produce comparable reference ranges and critical limits and include standardised terminology, units and best practise methodology to improve clinical outcomes?

This is the underlying thrust of the AACB’s meeting in Melbourne which will run from THURSDAY the 15^th of November to SUNDAY the 18^th of November 2012.

The program has been split into four themed days including; Harmonisation Day, Harm Minimisation Day, Hormonal Day and Disharmony Day, and features both international and local speakers. Amongst the Internationals are; Mario Plebani (Italy), Greg Miller (USA) and Michael Thomas (UK). 

A satellite meeting; METHOD HARMONISATION will be held on Monday the 19^th November and shall include the theory and the practice of method Standardisation, Harmonisation and Traceability.

The conference will be held in the new Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre next to the Yarra River and the Conference Dinner will be held at the National Gallery of Victoria on the Saturday night of the meeting.

We hope you can join us in Melbourne in November 2012.
