We are excited to be hosting two ANZSGM special interest group (SIG) workshops prior to the ASM in Christchurch. The Dementia SIG will be holding its inaugural workshop. The peri-operative care workshop for 2024 includes topics such as trauma services for older people, peri-operative care of patients with obesity, and much more. These workshops will take place at the conference venue, Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre on Tuesday 21st May from 1:30 – 5:30pm. A detailed programme is available below.
Attendance at one of the SIG workshops is included in your full conference registration. Just indicate the workshop you plan to attend when you register.
We are now pleased to offer SIG workshop only registrations. If you would like to attend one of the SIG workshops but cannot attend the full ASM, you can use the link below.
