"Just some feedback to the NSW committee to thank them for a fabulous day on Sat 29 Aug at the Q Station at Manly on “ Back to Quarantine”. It was a fascinating insight into previous pandemics on a beautiful heritage listed site on Sydney Harbour with excellent guides showing us the conditions and difficulties doctors and nurses worked with in isolated and stressful times with limited effective treatments. Thankyou!" - Meeting delegate
