The Association of Pakistani Physicians of Northern Europe (APPNE) held their first annual event in Manchester.
President APPNE Dr Amir Burney, General Secretary Irfan Akhtar, LOC Lead Aamir Ayub and the hosts Mr Abdullah Afzal and Dr Lalarukh welcomed the distinguished guests who came from UK, Republic of Ireland, Pakistan and USA.
APPNE also organised an Educational event (CPD) with CME points which was free to attend and a social event which included an exhibition, dinner and entertainment.
The Honourable Provincial Minister for Health (Punjab) Dr Yasmin Rashid sent her message via video link and His Excellency, The High Commisioner of Pakistan to United Kingdom , Mr Nafees Zakaria attended as chief guests. Along with other notable dignitaries, academics and professionals from medicine , allied healthcare and a variety of professional backgrounds also attended. Mr Afzal Khan (MP) , MEP Sajjad Haider, Fizza Niazi (Pakistan Consulate, Manchester) were also present.
Mr Abdullah Afzal of Citizen Khan Fame and Dr Lalaruk hosted the event and the musical sensation Usman Farooqi performed with his band.
A full house to its maximum capacity, we congratulate APPNE, President Amir Burney and his team for organising a great event.
Also I like to add here that I never seen the event was already full by 7pm, on my arrival at 7 I struggle to find a parking space, I think APPNE has set the great example here to have people arrived well on time and enjoyed the event from beginning to the end.
