This year we celebrate 20 years of sharing innovations.  Over that time, the pace of change has accelerated dramatically.  This year, the focus will be "Looking Forward: The Next 20 Years."     Click  here

 As the Personal Member representing your organisation, your input is crucial to shape the Roundtable’s work in the years ahead.  For this special workshop I urge you to attend personally, to bring your Liaison Representative who deals with us on a regular basis, and a senior health service planner. 

 There is no registration cost for the meeting. However, you do need to make your own travel and accommodation arrangements, and you must register by 12 March to let us know who is attending. 

 Gala 20th Anniversary Dinner on Thursday 26 March Since the Roundtable started in 1995 with seven hospitals, it has grown to serve the needs of over 85 health services and 145 hospitals today. We have asked two long-standing members of the Roundtable – Richard Ashby and Nigel Millar – to share their perspectives on the Roundtable with you during the dinner. 

It has been a great privilege for me to be part of this process for the past 20 years, and it is time to step back and let others guide the organisation into the future.  This meeting will mark my last as General Manager of the Roundtable, and I’m delighted to announce that Dr John Menzies will be taking on that key role following the meeting. (I’ll continue to work with the team, but will step back and hope to take some much-needed “garden leave.”)

Executive Workshop: Developing Goals for 2035  In 1995, the Roundtable members agreed on 10 patient service aspirational goals that have guided us since that time.  It’s time to take stock of these, and update these goals to guide future health service planning, including staff recruitment and training.  Recognising that health care is now a global industry, we have invited experts Dr Joshua Tepper from Canada, Paul Whittlestone from the UK, and Salim Hasham from Aga Khan University in Pakistan to join you in developing your goals. 

I hope to be able to thank you in person at the meeting for your support of The Health Roundtable, and the amazing innovations that you share with other health services across Australia and New Zealand.
