CONFERENCE OF PHYSICIANS
N.Z. DELEGATES RETURN [Per United Press Association.] AVELLINGTON, December 20. The four New Zealand doctors who attended the inaugural conference of tho Royal Australian College of Physicians held in Sydney last week returned by the AVanganella to-day. They were Drs Fred. T. Bowerbank and J. M. Twhigg, of AVellington, Malcolm Gray, of Christchurch, and J. B. M'Miken, of Otaki, Asked about the value of the conference, Dr Bowerbank said there was no doubt that it was going to be of tremendous value to pure medicine and for post-graduate teaching. After all, medicine had made a tremendous advance in the past 20 years, and it had not been sufficiently recognised in Australia and New Zealand. Dr Bowerbank said it was proposed to hold a conference annually, and the next would probably be in AVellington, in about IS months’ time, in 1940, although that had not actually been decided’ on. The New Zealand delegates had extended an invitation to the council to hold a conference in New Zealand, hut, if it were not held in the Dominion, it would take place in Melbourne.
