• "HIC saved me a lot of time and pain. My hospital was in the market for some clinical software. I spent hours on the HIC exhibition floor talking to vendors and getting a deep dive of their products. This was time well spent and what I
  learnt influenced the 'next steps' I took and the decision we arrived at."

• "I went along feeling somewhat jaded about being able to see changes at the coalface in clinical services, having had to work very hard to argue for funding to attend a conference for a 'non-front-line' activity but came out feeling enthused and keen to pass on my learning's to the service decision-makers."

• "I had many stimulating conversations, and made some new friends. The conference itself was as well run as any I've attended. But much more than that was how warm, friendly and welcoming you all were."

  "It was a very enjoyable conference and I look forward to my next trip to Australia!"

• "The HISA staff did an excellent job in putting everything together and for making it a very memorable and worthwhile event."

  "I would like to thank you for helping us get organised to exhibit at HIC 2012 this year."

• "Well done HISA team and Louise - some great innovations and approaches."

  "In all it was a marvellous experience made all the better due to you and your team's attention to detail and willingness to help - with a smile!"
