The Post Polio Workshop at Gosford Hospital, saw a good turn-out of 29 professionals, including nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and one speech therapist.  The presentation given by physiotherapist, Mel McConaghy, was well received and the participants particularly seemed to enjoy the talks by the three volunteer polio survivors Wayne Woolley, Di Bull, and John Tierney. What interesting stories these folks had to tell and what tremendous courage in the way they told their stories. The audience were clearly very interested and the positive comments that followed said it all.
 
The workshop was opened by District Governor Gina and attended by Assistant Governors Russell Grove (Upper Central Coast) and Bobby Redman (Lower Central Coast).  A special thanks goes out to Gosford Hospital for providing the venue and to the members of the Rotary Clubs of Gosford North and Kincumber who provided a delicious afternoon tea.
 
Hopefully the word will spread, to other health professionals, of the importance of gaining a better understanding of Post Polio Syndrome, so that these people who have already fought their way through this insidious disease can gain the support and treatment required.
