Annual conference

The NZSHCD Annual Conference brings together clinicians from across Aotearoa for two days of clinical updates, shared learning, and professional connection.

Each year features a full academic programme alongside familiar social highlights: the President’s Shout on Friday evening, the Saturday morning Wellness Event, and the much‑loved conference dinner with live music.

This year’s conference will be held in Rotorua at the Novotel Rotorua Lakeside.
