Cranford Hospice & ANZSPM Aotearoa Advanced Trainee Day

Dear Palliative Care Whanau,

We are pleased to invite you to the second bi-annual Advanced Trainee Day for 2026, taking place Friday 16th October in The Hawkes Bay.  This event will bring together Palliative Care Advanced Trainees, Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Nurse Specialists, & General Practitioners from around the motu to meet, learn, and socialise together.

This is a unique opportunity to gain new insights, strengthen your professional network and meet other Advanced Trainees or Palliative Care Practitioners from around the motu.

Please think about a recent complex case you could bring to the interactive discussion, which you could potentially discuss in small groups with your colleagues.

Sincerely,
ANZSPM
