The biennial Gundy Medical Muster allows health professionals to come together for a weekend of education and networking in a family-friendly environment in Goondiwindi.
This year, the event will explore the ideas surrounding the theme of “Extremes of Life – Health Care in the Beginning and the End”. This year’s Muster will include education sessions discussing antenatal, paediatric and geriatric care from a multitude of health perspectives.
