President’s Message

WELCOME TO NZASH.

We are a national organisation for all things simulation. We promote simulation-based learning in healthcare. In an educational and clinical world of uncertainty, we aim to be a resource and a meeting point for simulation education in New Zealand.

The Executive team continues to build networks with regional interest groups and maintain links with International Organisations to increase members’ resources and connectivity. We continue to develop and update the website and have included areas for the sharing of resources and increasing the NZASH profile of social media.

The formation of NZ Health gives us a unique opportunity to promote simulation education as the new milieu defines itself. We would like to lead that discussion as an organisation, helping to further education through simulation.
