Nau mai, haere mai!
Welcome to NZ Women in Medicine.
NZWIM began as an online peer support group in early 2018 and has since grown to over 5000 members, representing a broad cross section of women doctors across New Zealand at all career stages and in all specialties of medicine.
From this base, the NZWIM Charitable Trust was formed in early 2021, with the goals of:
Te Tiake Whaiaro - self-care: peer support, networking, and advice in order to support the health and well being of our workforce
Te Tōtika - equity: to advocate for equitable access to services and health outcomes, particularly in the areas of women’s and children’s health
Whakahāngai - to implement, update: to promote and develop strong leadership in medicine, to ensure the cultural safety of our diverse workforce, and to uphold the values of Te Tiriti ō Waitangi.
Registrations for the 2024 Conference are now open
16-18 May 2024
Tākina Convention Centre, Wellington
Save the date for the New Zealand Women in Medicine conference returning to Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington in 2024, May 16-18.
The theme for the conference is Kō te tumanako me haere tahi tatou: hope moves us forward together. We will be tackling some of the big ideas – what does success look like, as regards reform of the health system? How do we step up as leaders to address bias and inequities where we see them? How do we develop that leadership and become agents of change? And how do we maintain our health while doing this, in an increasingly difficult work environment?
Joining us to discuss these issues will be a group of inspiring speakers including Keriana Brooking, Director-General of Health, Dr Diana Sarfati, Sir Peter Gluckman and Rob Campbell just to name a few.
We’d love you to join New Zealand Women in Medicine.
By joining NZ Women in Medicine you will be part of a large networked community of women/wāhine doctors at all ages and stages of medicine. We are currently the only pan professional medical organisation in New Zealand, dedicated to supporting our members, advocating for our profession and benefiting from each other’s wisdom and lived experience.
