Revised recertification draft programme available

We’ve updated the proposed recertification programme and placed a draft version on the website for consultation. We made minor changes as a result of feedback from those in attendance at the webinars on 11 and 12 January, and may make more refinements in due course. We intend to send a survey to members in February then finalise the programme in time for the AGM. Please take time to review the information available and send us your comments in the survey or by direct email.

Recertification waiver ending soon

You are likely to have received an email from MCNZ indicating that the recertification waiver ends on 28 February 2021.
The College paused recertification requirements, but continued to 'roll over' your records on ePortfolio without adding new targets. Any overdue items from previous years were brought forward. We plan to prorate your triennial requirements. This will be a manual process, so please be patient and allow us more time to roll your records over.

We ask you to help by ensuring that all your CPD is loaded, and all ePorfolio items completed, before your roll over date.

AGM 2021 - Tuesday 30 March 6pm

We traditionally hold the AGM at the Goodfellow symposium. This is being held virtually in 2021. Consequently, we're setting the AGM date as Tuesday 30 March at 6pm, and we intend to hold it using teleconference (zoom) technology.
We will send a formal calling notice, and open nominations for the Executive Committee next week. For now, please put a note in your calendar for the evening of Tuesday 30 March.
AGM 2021

Bootcamp 2021 - 18 and 19 September 2021 - Christchurch

We are thrilled that the 2021 Urgent Care Bootcamp and Fellowship dinner will be held at the Rydges, Latimer Square, Christchurch, on September 18 and 19.

There'll be workshops on Friday (17 September) afternoon including (as an example) resuscitation. Saturday is the Bootcamp proper, with four sessions, each with four talks of 15 minutes, followed by a Q+A session with the speakers. We will hold longer, more in-depth, presentations on Sunday morning, finishing by lunchtime.

The Fellowship dinner is our opportunity to congratulate those who have achieved Fellowship in the last two years, including the award of certificates. Those who have achieved Fellowship within the last two years and who are being presented with their certificate will receive a complimentary ticket for the dinner.

Presenters wanted
We're looking for presenters for the Saturday Bootcamp. Now is your opportunity to share your experiences and present to the urgent care family. Talks should be 15 minutes, and deliver vital teaching points relevant to urgent care. Presenters will receive complimentary tickets for the Saturday Bootcamp and Sunday presentations and may claim up to 6 hours of CPD for preparation.

If you wish to volunteer, please complete the following application form. You can volunteer more than one talk if you like. Once we have received all applications, we will notify you if your proposed talk has been accepted.
