This year, the Association of Port Health Authorities’ (APHA) annual conference, entitled ‘Moving forwards and Managing Change’ has been designed to identify and raise awareness of emerging public health threats and challenges – Chemical, Radiological and Biological (for example Ebola, MERS, exotic vectors such as the ‘Asian tiger’ mosquito, decommissioned chemical weapons); adulterated food; illegal imports; reduction in regulatory controls at borders and red tape – and to identify research and working methods that will meet these challenges in the future.
