Deadline extension to help save 2022 NZ Primary Healthcare Awards!
Deadline extension to help save 2022 NZ Primary Healthcare Awards!
The hosts of the New Zealand Primary Healthcare Awards | He Tohu Mauri Ora 2022 have extend the deadline for entry submissions to Friday, 11 February. Due to collective health-sector exhaustion, entry numbers are low and we hope an extension will reinvigorate people to enter their incredible work and share in some much-needed good news and celebration in 2022.
We’re especially looking for more submissions to these generously sponsored categories:
Community pharmacy of the year ‒ Pharmacy Guild
Business achievement award ‒ BDO
Best supplier service, product or campaign ‒ Blue Star
Primary and secondary integration award ‒ Southern Cross Health Insurance
Practice/business manager of the year ‒ BNZ
Excellence in information technology or telehealth award ‒ Spark Health
Research and education award ‒ Total Healthcare PHO / Tāmaki Health
Do you have a great project to enter, or know of someone to nominate? Maybe you were an unsuccessful entrant last year? Why not dust that entry off, upate it and resend. Easy.
Now in its third year, the awards honour people and teams who are transforming primary and community healthcare across Aotearoa New Zealand. Maybe in 2022 they honour those who have held everything together, made some achievements to be proud of and got through despite everything they are facing. The judges will look kindly on this type of entry.
