In Brief

The First National Conference of the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.

It’s at the Gold Coast, 16-17 November, and it’ll bring together support groups, researchers, nurses, doctors, community organizations, allied health professionals and government representatives and, perhaps, one or two plumbers.
