David SmithWe have a bit of a special offer on just now regarding the Conference Course I have created from the film footage of our recent conference.

The package will include audios of the speakers as well once I have done them and loaded them up – thats my task for this weekend.

There is also a free 4 1/2 minutes of David’s talk on HMO’s which you can view at the bottom of the page.
