UPCOMING EVENTS

Join the Hospice team to explore the current landscape of hospice services, focusing on their role in patient care and resource utilisation. This session aims to provide valuable insights on referrals and shared patient care and spark a discussion on the future of palliative services.

Leading the discussion will be Dr. Tom Reid, Medical Director of Hospice Taranaki. With over three years in this role and a background in General Medicine and Respiratory Medicine, Dr. Reid transitioned to Palliative Medicine and brings extensive experience from working in hospitals across both islands of New Zealand and in four different hospices in the North Island.

Join Dr Abysinia Sibanda, interventional radiologist working in Taranaki, for our final CME session of 2025. Dr Sibanda graduated MBChB from the University of Zimbabwe, later gaining Membership of the Royal College of Physicians (UK) and completing specialist training in clinical radiology with Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists (FRCR). He is also a Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (FRANZCR).

With extensive experience in diagnostic and interventional imaging, he now turns to one of the most transformative frontiers in medicine - artificial intelligence. In this closing session, Dr Sibanda will explore how AI is reshaping radiology and what it could mean for the future of clinical practice.
