PMAANZ
Conference 16th-18th Oct 2008
“ASPIRING TO GREATER HEIGHTS”
 Auckland Branch
is proud to be hosting this year’s Conference to be held
at The Spencer on Byron in Takapuna. This is the
opportunity for Practice Managers and Administrators to
come from all parts of New Zealand to exchange ideas,
opinions and experiences among other members. This is
particularly important for our many rural members who do
not have local support networks.
Our conference theme this year is “Aspiring to
Greater Heights’. You will be
inspired to set yourself goals, know how to problem
solve without losing sight of where you want to
be.
For more information about the
conference email Bronwyn Mansfield admin@pmaanz.org.nz
South
Island Population Health Strategy
Please find
attached the panui for the second Nelson-Marlborough
consultation for the development of the South Island
Population Health Strategy.
After some
advocacy we have successfully ensured this second
consultation after the limited engagement with community
stakeholders at the initial consultation earlier this
year. While focusing on the whole of South Island it is
important that we ensure Te Tau Ihu is acknowledged and
recognized within the broader context.
