The Faculty Board met on the 24th of February. The minutes from this meeting can be found here. Matters of interest include clinical pathway development and workforce development.

One of the issues that the Board discussed was around mentoring of GPEP2 registrars. The Board is developing a programme called Kapa Kaiaka to mentor GP registrars (from their 2nd year onwards). This programme is intended to encourage and support young doctors developing their career in general practice. We are short of potential mentors in Whangarei. If you are a GP with Fellowship who wouldn't mind giving up about 1h of your time 3-4 times per year to support a GP early in their career then could you please contact our Kapa Kaiaka coordinator Gabby Montgomery
