Student Paramedics Australasia Conference inspires, educates and motivates delegates
The 2015 Student Paramedics Australasia (SPA) International Conference was held in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia in September over two days. This was the premiere and biggest gathering of student paramedics, and this year over 180 delegates came from right across Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, with presenters from the above countries as well as Canada and the USA. The aim of the SPA conference is to inspire, educate and motivate student paramedics who will contribute fully to the world of paramedicine, as well as creating opportunities for delegates to network and meet leaders in the industry.
This year's conference was the eighth annual event and was hosted at Platinum Sponsor Victoria University's beautiful city campus in Melbourne. The conference was also supported by Ambulance Victoria, Edith Cowan University, Paramedics Australasia—the peak body for paramedic representation in the Asia Pacific region, the Australian and New Zealand College of Paramedics, Ferno, Medical Edge Australia and Team Australia EMS—the number one simulation team in Australia, with many significant international accolades. The conference was held over two days with practical workshops followed by the much anticipated Ferno Student Paramedic Simulation Challenge, which was held at the magnificent Federation Square in Melbourne that evening. The second day consisted of conference presentations by the esteemed speakers, followed by a networking and gala evening to end the conference.
