Before you log out for the long Easter weekend make sure you've signed up to the MJA Symposium on 25th April so we know you're coming! Great to see a long list of sign ups already. Please register by the end of this week :-)
There are many reasons to register for our symposium with @HealthFdn on the 25th April, not least the number of exclusive news stories you'll miss out on if you're not there. Last chance to grab your place!
