Welcome to the NZ Branch!
Christine Thompson, Branch Chair
About the Branch:
The Branch has approximately 80 student and professional members working in Aotearoa New Zealand hospitals, universities, companies, and as private contractors.
The branch committee deliberately has a geographically and professionally diverse group of committee members to try to ensure that as broad a range of Medical Physics perspectives are taken into account when making decisions.
Branch Activities / Initiatives:
- A two-day annual conference (NZPEM) held on a rotational basis around the country. Details of the next conference can be found at nzpem.org.nz. The branch offers two annual NZ Branch Conference Grants to attend NZPEM, covering conference registration, accommodation and travel up to $500.
- Provide opportunities for interdepartmental collaboration and sharing of expertise via two monthly online peer review sessions on a variety of relevant topics
- Biannual newsletter published in April and October
- Consultation on national matters relevant to the profession
- Explore how we can support increasing professional body registration in New Zealand
