Perioperative Symposium 2024

Working Together

We are delighted to invite you to the Aotearoa NZ Perioperative Symposium, a special one-day event bringing together a multidisciplinary programme of local and international experts in perioperative care.

The symposium is open to anyone working and collaborating in the field of perioperative medicine.

Working together is the theme of the symposium, reflecting the benefits of multidisciplinary team collaboration, working together to provide the best care for our patients.

This event is hosted by the anaesthesia department of Te Whatu Ora Waitematā and parent organisations the ANZCA New Zealand National Committee and the New Zealand Society of Anaesthetists (NZSA).

The event will be held in the lead-up to the Aotearoa NZ Anaesthesia Annual Scientific Meeting.

We look forward to welcoming you to this event that will bring together our perioperative community here in Aotearoa New Zealand.

We encourage you to register early.

The Conference Managers, in conjunction with the Organising Committee and the symposium venue, are committed to providing and maintaining a safe and healthy symposium environment for all attendees, and to providing the information needed to achieve this. The Conference Managers, in conjunction with the Organising Committee and the symposium venue, will take responsibility for providing health and safety procedures while on-site, however, all symposium attendees need to be aware of their own responsibilities. Each attendee is encouraged to play a vital and responsible role in maintaining a safe and healthy symposium environment through:

  • Reading the health and safety procedure document provided on-site at the registration desk.
  • Ensuring all accidents and incidents that occur on-site at the symposium are reported.

Personal information is collected on behalf of the meeting’s parent bodies: ANZCA and NZSA. A delegate list will be produced for the symposium including name, organisation and email address. It will be distributed to symposium attendees, and sponsors and provided to the ANZCA, and NZSA. This list will not be provided by ANZCA and NZSA to any other third party. Should you wish your details to be NOT included on the delegate list please indicate this during the registration process.

ANZCA and NZSA and the Conference Managers will not accept any liability for losses associated with the symposium. Delegates are advised to arrange their own comprehensive travel and medical insurance, including insurance for personal possessions and financial loss due to cancellation or postponement of the symposium.

The Aotearoa NZ Perioperative Symposium 2024 is held in a public space, therefore we do not prohibit participants, exhibitors, sponsors, news organisations and other companies from photographing, video recording or recording some symposium activities. Additionally, the Organising Committee may arrange for photos to be taken during the symposium. ANZCA and NZSA reserve the right to use images and recordings taken at the symposium with your photograph and/or likeness in future marketing materials, including on the internet.
