Inaugural Meeting www.gpcme.co.nz/south 6-8 August 2010 | Hotel Grand Chancellor | Christchurch Working for doctors in NZ for over 100 years The New Zealand Medical Association (NZMA) through its General Practitioners Council is a strong advocate for GPs and General Practice. We advocate for urgent and effective solutions to the crisis in the GP workforce. We represent 600 general practices in the Primary Health Care MECA negotiations. Members have access to many NZMA advisory services, which can be utilised by the practice manager. The NZMA also publishes the New Zealand Medical Journal (available at: www.nzma.org.nz/journal) and the NZMJ Digest (selected papers from the NZMJ). Thank you for supporting your professional association - We look forward to representing and supporting you. www.nzma.org.nz 0800 656 161 Welcome It is always a pleasure to join colleagues at conferences that are both Speakers educative and great fun. The NZMA GPCME conferences are always such Dr Robert Allison occasions and it is a real pleasure to welcome you to Christchurch for the Mr Brian Almand inaugural NZMA GPCME South meeting. Dr John Apps For some years we have had delegates attending the Rotorua conference Dr Adrian Balasingam telling us that they had been able to come to the conference only because Dr Alex Bartle one of their practice colleagues drew the short straw and had to cover the Mr Philip Bird patient load for the couple of days, and the weekend. Dr Jim Borowczyk Dr David Bowie This conference developed out of that feedback. Christchurch, a few Dr David Bratt months on, provides the ideal pay-off for those who had to stay behind Mr Andrew Carmody during the Rotorua event. This conference will provide the same style of Dr Peter Chapman-Smith short, sharp educational sessions and hands-on workshops that Rotorua Dr Daniel Ching is renowned for. Dr Richard Chisholm Dr Sean Every The other obvious advantage for many is the timing. Christchurch in Dr Richard Fisher winter! Hopefully many of you will have found a few extra days to enjoy Dr Peter Foley the Garden City or the nearby ski fi elds. The early season outlook is that Associate Professor Ed Gane Mt Hutt and the other Canterbury ski fi elds may have the best snow Mr John Glue conditions in the country this year. Dr Brendan Gray & Dr Tim Cookson Dr Katherine Grundy We are confi dent that this conference will complement the Rotorua event Dr David Hammer and expect it to become a regular feature of the General Practice calendar Dr Nigel Harrison in the years to come. RN Linda Hill For now please take advantage of the excellent academic and social Dr Shaun Holt programme, add a few of your own leisure time activities, and go back Associate Professor Gary Hooper to your practice energised and reinvigorated so that you can continue to Professor Hamid Ikram enjoy being a GP.
