World Continence Week
This World Continence Week (17-23 June) we are fortunate to have beloved New Zealand entertainer Jason Gunn once again partnering with us for our campaign.
Jason is taking up our pelvic health challenge and encouraging New Zealanders around the country to do the same. Jason’s engaging and inspiring videos have reached many thousands of New Zealanders, and we are grateful that he has chosen to support our campaign for a third year.
We are also grateful to the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (NZ Office), Physiotherapy New Zealand, and the College of Midwives for their support of the campaign, in particular the collaborative approach to our pelvic health webinar which will be held during World Continence Week and for sharing the campaign with their members.
Thank you also to our members for your ongoing support, we truly appreciate the effort that goes into promoting and sharing the campaign to raise awareness, reduce the stigma, and encourage help seeking. You can find the full details of our campaign here.
CEO recruitment
Given the significant changes occurring within the Ministry of Health in New Zealand, our Executive Committee has decided to delay recruitment for the CEO role until it is known if there will be any impact to our organisation.
In the meantime, it is business as usual for our small team as we continue to focus on delivering World Continence Week, a variety of educational opportunities, and our usual service delivery.
We look forward to updating you about any changes to the recruitment process soon.
Education
We have a range of online courses and webinars available via our website. Our members can also access additional webinars and this journal through our member portal.
We will have further webinars for both adults and children running throughout the year, including a series to support students with intellectual disabilities, which has kindly been funded by the IHC Foundation.
Visit our website here for access to our current education offerings.
