1. Webinar, commencing at 4:30pm (open to all)

With Special Guests Murray Chenery and Abi Oliver.

Consumer/Lived experience presentation  

Murray is an expert by lived experience and peer support leader for Heart Support Australia. He will be sharing his story and learnings from his experience.

Keynote presentation – “Getting to the heart of the matter – diabetes care in cardiac rehab”

Abi trained in coronary care in the 1990’s and worked in cardiology and cardiac rehabilitation in various roles.  Whilst working in the cardiac, pulmonary and bariatric rehabilitation programs at Epworth Camberwell and with so many of the participants having diabetes, Abi was fortunate to have the opportunity to complete a diabetes education qualification at UTS.  There, she was inspired by the teachings of Prof Elizabeth Denny-Wilson regarding the issue of inequitable access in health care.  Since obtaining credentialing as a diabetes educator, Abi has worked in community health and health promotion charities in diabetes education and obesity. ‘
