One crude but perhaps encouraging aspect of the Action on Injury Conference held in London in November 1998 was that a large proportion of the people who attended were not the regulars you see at most injury prevention gatherings in the UK! If this could be used as a measure of progress, we have taken at least one step in the right direction.
