The National Rural Health Conference (NRHC) 2022, which was due to be held 9-10 April 2022, has been postponed due to the recent announcement of our current Red Traffic Light status (under the COVID 19 Protection Framework and modelling showing the ongoing impact of the Omicron variant before, during and beyond the planned April dates.
Our Executive Board and Conference Committee are disappointed to have to make this decision, however we know that it is the right choice as so many of you, our members, rural health colleagues and stakeholders will be unlikely to have the capacity to attend an event in April.
We have secured new dates for the event at Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre of 9-10 September 2022 and sincerely hope you will be able to join us then, as we celebrate our 30th Anniversary and offer an exciting programme of speakers and workshops.
