Summary & Outcomes of 2020 AGM

Four directors were re-appointed - Finlay Macrae, Tony Clarke, Chris Hair and Alan Studley.
Recognition Awards were presented to Nurse Ann Vandeleur, Dr Mark Norrie and Mr Mario Cutts of CK Surgitech
The guest speaker, Prof Michael Wesley, gave a very interesting and well-received talk on the geo-political situation in the Pacific.
Draft Minutes will be added in due course, and below is a video of the meeting.
The 2019/20 Annual Report is available to view and to download.
The About ANZGITA flipbook and advice on how it can used to introduce colleagues to ANZGITA is now available. This is an informal introduction to the work we do and how interested people can assist. Please share it and your personal ANZGITA experiences with colleagues in a COVID-safe way and encourage them to be involved. It can be viewed in an electronic Flip Book or as a pdf.
