Dear all,

This bulletin will include updates from various portfolios that are led by members of your Committee of Management (CoM).

A 50^th anniversary committee has been formed to commemorate this significant milestone in July 2022 with the first of the celebrations to be held as part of our Festival networking hubs on July 8^th.  The committee members include; Julie Ash, Chinthaka Balasooriya, Jo Bishop, Ben Canny,  Monica Moran,  Phillippa Poole, David Prideaux, Gary Rogers, Dale Sheehan,  Andy Wearn, Tim Wilkinson and  Jill Romeo. Please feel free to reach out to anyone of us with any personal stories you would like to share.

Last week we launched the 2022 Festival website with theme of  'Partnerships’. We are excited that so many of you have appreciated the early details and opportunity to prepare abstracts for the January 31 deadline.

The Festival committee would like to invite additional abstracts reviewers from our membership, if you are interested, please contact us. 

Our first ANZAHPE ONLINE event for 2022 will focus on student support, but whilst supporting students how do we support ourselves as health professional educators; “Bouncing Forward; Mental Wealth for Staff and Student”.

As we farewell 2021, this is a great opportunity to reflect on our personal and professional achievements, and how we can best prepare for 2022. For some this will be a festive season but for all of us this is a break away from work to spend quality time with those we care about, including ourselves.

Jo Bishop
ANZAHPE President
