Hello to our South Australian friends. What an interesting few weeks you’ve had!

We hope you’re all safe and well and looking forward to the festive season.

Health Professional Education

Michael is continuing to do online sessions for health professionals, including a session on the 12th of January.

To view the list of sessions, go to www.poliohealth.org.au/workshops/

and encourage your health professionals to attend!

An in-person workshop was scheduled for December, but unfortunately had to be cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Please watch for updates at www.poliohealth.org.au/workshops/

Polio Survivor Community

We have continued to meet virtually over the last few months. This has been a great way to connect while we’ve been unable to travel. To view upcoming sessions, go to www.polioaustralia.org.au/community-information-sessions/

But 2021 is a whole new year, and we’re very hopeful we can do some in-person sessions in SA! We will begin to organise these in the new year thanks to a grant we received jointly with Polio SA from Grants SA.

If you particularly want us to come to your area, or you have a venue suggestion, please get in touch.

Polio Awareness Month

We had a great Polio Awareness Month in October – weekly Zoom chats, a “treasure hunt”, and some media exposure to raise awareness of the Late Effects of Polio. For a summary of the month’s activities, and to view an excellent Polio Awareness Month timeline slideshow, go to www.polioaustralia.org.au/polio-awareness-month

Best wishes to you all for the season.

From the Polio Australia team
