From Netty Cracknell, ISOPP President What an incredible few months it’s been! We’ve just wrapped up the International ISOPP CAPhO 2025 symposium, and I’m still buzzing from the energy, learning, and connections we shared. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed—whether you presented, attended, volunteered, or supported in the background. It was truly a team effort, and I’m proud of what we accomplished together. You’ll find a brief from the Symposium in this issue.
