Small group clinical education for primary care clinicians on topics that are engaging, relevant and strategically important to the Aotearoa NZ health system. The programme runs exclusively online via Zoom and covers 5 topics across a 12-month period.
Upcoming topics include frailty and legacy prescribing, menopause and chronic kidney disease.
Primary care clinicians who are working as a general practitioner, nurse practitioner, nurse or community pharmacist.
Groups are made up of around 15 primary care clinicians. A peer group leader supports the group to kōrero/discuss the topic and reflect on their practice with case-based examples. The same group of individuals meet each time, this creates a network of support and allows for trusted, open conversations and learning. Clinical Connect Peer Education Programme meets professional development requirements for the following professional bodies: RNZCGP (all competency domains), NCNZ, PCNZ (MyRecert programme – templates provided).
Visit the Clinical Connect website to find out more and register your interest via the online form. Once enough clinicians register to form a group (15 people) Clinical Connect will confirm a space for you in a group and you will be provided with payment information, topics, meeting dates and times and terms and conditions.
