283880406_389782216497051_6043119223214723737_n-1
With our Early Bird pricing ending on 18 July, now is the time to get your Bootcamp 2022 tickets!

Come and join us in Ōtautahi, Christchurch on September 17 and 18 for a weekend of urgent care education, promotion and celebration.

On Saturday we have a full day of short, practice changing presentations delivered by UC clinicians followed by the Fellowship ceremony and dinner.

On Sunday we have a series of panel discussions, featuring special guests from GP, ED, Ministry of Health and more, in which we will be tackling topics of importance to the future of urgent care.

Online resuscitation course

A while ago the College approved, for 2022 only, a one-off resus online refresher to allow those behind through Covid to catch up. It is finally ready. Whilst it covers all CORE skills topics, the practical element is missing. We recommend you access a training mannequin to practise the skills.

Please use this link to register directly with ResuscitationSkills: https://www.resuscitationskills.com/our-courses/e-learning/e-advancedlifesupport

The College will accept this as meeting the refresher requirement for 2022 only, and for those needing to complete a refresher training. If you need to complete the NZRC CORE Advanced this year, this course does not meet that requirement.

Upcoming webinars

SAC webinar - July 18 at 6:30 pm
The structured annual conversation is a new component of the recertification programme and must be completed at the end of each CPD year. For those of you whose CPD year ends at the end of August, you should be starting to make plans for your SAC.
To help explain and demonstrate what is expected of an SAC we will be holding a webinar on July 18 at 6:30 pm.
There will be a presentation, including a demonstration of an SAC, followed by an opportunity for Q+A.
