Get ready for a fantastic Friday evening in Wollongong on 7 November 2025!
 
Join us for a ‘Connect and Learn’ evening with the amazing Dr Aron Downie.
 
The topic for the evening will be Serious Pathology Masquerading as Back Pain: How will you know? Catch up with local colleagues, and meet ACA Regional Manager, Cheryl Jendrachowski.
During this Connect and Learn event, Aron will provide an overview of the difficulties faced by chiropractors when screening patients for serious pathology and why many “red flag” questions are not helpful.
 

Aron will present new strategies to improve clinical practice in this important area and share chiropractic-focused training resources.

 

Finally, Aron will highlight international research currently underway that will benefit both patients and chiropractors through more accurate and timely cancer diagnoses.

 
After the learning, stay for a relaxing dinner where the conversation and good times will continue. It’s going to be a perfect evening of knowledge and networking.
 
See you there!
Date: Friday 7 November 2025
