After a year of significant disruption we are pleased to host the New Zealand Association of Plastic Surgeons Annual Scientific Meeting and Annual General Meeting in Wellington in November. We have a strong programme with a focus on significant current issues for our profession including Workforce Planning and a reflection on Whakaari/ White Island. We are fortunate to have excellent domestic speakers supported by strong representation from our membership. We hope to welcome you all to Wellington and look forward to seeing you here.
