NZAMM is expanding its educational Role for GP members. This will include

• • Clinical Mentorship:- Fellows of the Association have offered individual clinical support to GP members. This is an informal process, mostly conducted online or if necessary by phone.
  • Musculoskeletal Peer Review:- Regular such meetings are planned with one or two specialists being present as required. The Association uses Zoom via the Internet.
  • Practical Workshops:- These have always been successful in the past and more are planned.

At a national level, there are a number of regular ongoing activities to which GPs are welcome including

• • • Annual Musculoskeletal Conference (alternately NZ and Australia) Usually associated with workshops and a “Retreat”
    • NZAMM/ AFMM Retreat Weekends three times a year. Much of the time is spent on clinical discussion, peer review and case presentation. Members only.
    • Yearly Practical Workshop to enhance manual and rehabilitation skills.
