Nurse practitioners in urgent care

If you have NP in your clinic, please ask them to let Amanda know the following details:

Urgent care registrar wins Rotorua Marathon
|
Congratulations to Dr Alice Mason, who won the Rotorua Marathon last weekend. As a three-time New Zealand marathon champion, Alice had been hoping 2020 would have been about competing in Tokyo at the Olympics. But with COVID-19 stopping all overseas competitions, Alice has spent 2020 training in Urgent Care while keeping her sights set on Japan next year. Winning a hat-trick of Rotorua Marathons this weekend shows she has been able to maintain her form despite a global pandemic, so we all hope that she has the chance to chase her Olympic dream next year.

Survey of health professionals’ views on referenda issues
|
|
We’ve been asked by one of our senior registrars (Aakash Chhibber) to disseminate this survey which asks for your views on the referenda issues. There has been considerable media coverage about these; however, there is little data to support the views of health professionals. This survey will help inform the public how we see these very important issues.

Guide to peer groups
|
|
Remember that we have information on peer groups on the website. This includes a list of peer groups, how to list your group, examples of peer group activities, and a useful template for minutes. Although recertification activities are one pause, we strongly recommend keeping up with peer group activities which can be completed using Zoom or similar.
