After this year’s congress in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, we all went home with some gems to put into practice at work – whether in the clinic, new research ideas or problem solving to better serve patients and clients. We also learned some things about each other: some members have famous children, others are really really great dancers.   This month we collected members’ responses to the question “What did you take home with you from the recent congress?”. If you would like to send a response, please Contact the Communications Committee.
