The Queensland Medical Women’s Society August Dinner was an inspiring evening featuring Dr. Clare Boothroyd’s insightful presentation on balancing careers and fertility, which sparked meaningful discussions among attendees. Dr. Chloe Hang also shared exciting updates on the upcoming QMWS Centennial celebrations, making the event both forward-looking and deeply connected to our Society’s legacy.
