Pacific Collaboration
The NZSA has a strong and long-standing commitment to supporting overseas anaesthetists in developing countries. Our focus is the Pacific: providing education and training, financial assistance, and resources. We also provide locums to cover lists, which enable Pacific anaesthetists to attend international meetings and refresher courses, as well as take a break when needed. Several NZ anaesthetists have experience working in the Pacific, and further afield, and find it very rewarding.
Volunteer in the Pacific
EOI for volunteer locum cover for the 2024 Pacific Society of Anaesthetists’ (PSA) Meeting has now closed. Thank you to all who expressed an interest, a member of the GHC will be in touch. The 2024 PSA meeting will be held Monday 26 – Friday 30 August. Locums will need to be available to cover from Sunday 25th until Saturday 31st.
The GHC coordinates volunteer locum cover during the PSA annual meeting to allow Pacific SMOs to attend what is often their only opportunity for CME and interact with colleagues from other Pacific nations. Volunteers’ experiences are greatly varied and often well enjoyed.
