Upcoming webinar: Health conditions and notifications
10 August 2026
A deep dive into health conditions and notifications following feedback from our recent health reporting survey.
The Board | te Poari runs three to four live webinars annually. The purpose of these online events are to provide information about practising within the regulatory environment, reflection on what that means in the real world, and the opportunity for practitioners to ask questions, offer their thoughts, and share their experiences.
Time spent viewing and engaging with these webinars can be counted toward CPD hours.
Many of our webinars are also available in downloadable audio format.
Practitioners are welcome to ask questions or provide feedback by emailing us at [email protected] (please first check any linked Q&A to see if your question has been answered already).
