2021 Annual Survey

The results of the survey for the year 2021 are available online here.
A short report is available here.

Online resuscitation refresher course expected to commence 22 April

The College recognises that many will have had difficulties attending an in-person resusciation course due to COVID. The PSC have approved, for 2022 only, an online resuscitation course for those needing to complete the resus refresher training. We are working with ResuscitationSkill to provide the online training.

You will need to book and pay for the course directly with ResuscitationSkills, and the anticipated cost is around $150. It will be a modular course taken at your own pace. Upon completion you will receive a certificate which you should load to UCCIS.

We anticipate the online resus refresher to be going live around 22 April, and we will advise you of the link as soon as we receive it.

    Co-option to standing committee, expressions of interest sought

    We are looking for members to be co-opted to standing committees.

    The Facilities Audit Committee is especially looking for those interested in forwarding the application of the Urgent Care Standard which we use to set the standards required of an urgent care clinic. Ideally those interested have been a technical advisor for either DAA or BSI/Q-Audit previously as strong knowledge of the UCS is important. This is NOT mandatory though, so anyone who is interested please email the General Manager (adrian@rnzcuc.org.nz).

    The convenors of the standing committees are still deciding on the make-up of the committee, but if you are interested at all in co-option or to support a committee, please email the General Manager (adrian@rnzcuc.org.nz) to express your interest.
