Acupuncture NZ Delegate Registration Form 2023
It is our great pleasure to invite you to join us at the 2023 46th Acupuncture New Zealand Conference.
This is your opportunity to connect with acupuncture and Chinese Medicine colleagues and friends from around the country, to meet new people, and to hear what’s happening in other areas within the profession both around the country and across the globe.
As the profession transitions to the statutory regulatory system under the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act (HPCAA), Acupuncture New Zealand will continue to be your professional body providing professional support, professional development opportunities and advocacy. We will also provide an anchor for our professional community throughout and after this period of transition.
They say the world is a village. So with the theme of Community and Connection we have lined up speakers from New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Ireland! There will be speakers and workshops with something for everyone. We hope you go away with more than a nugget of knowledge to take back to clinic.
Rydges has offered good rates for delegates. You just need to let them know you are coming to the Acupuncture NZ Conference when you book.
