About the forums

Topics covered in the 60-minute forums will be of varied interest to different provider service types and care settings.

The forums will be open to all providers.

We’ll co-host some forums with other organisations, e.g. Te Tāhū Hauora Health Quality and Safety Commission.

For each upcoming forum we’ll let you know:

  • When it will be held
  • Who should attend
  • What we’ll cover
  • How to register.

All provider forums will be recorded. The recordings will be available on our Previous forums page
