We invite all interested Southland Hospital employees, GPs and Nurse Practitioners to our upcoming 6th Engagement Workshop. Come along to reconnect, discuss what is new in various specialties of medicine, and, foremost, socialise. Working in health is challenging, and sometimes the work of doctors, nurses, allied health workers and many managers is overshadowed by our problems.
