ANSWERS
Q. Is the conference accredited for CME points?

Workshops Preliminary Day is approved for 8 hours of CME

Q. Do I need a Certificate of Attendance for CME points?
A. Yes, one will be available in the back of the Conference Proceedings, available at the meeting.
Q. Do I send my Certificate of Attendance to Conference Matters to earn CME points?
A. No, keep the Attendance Certificate for your records, and apply for your MOPS or AVE CME points through your normal quarterly reporting to the RNZCGP. You may be asked for a copy of your Attendance Certificate by the RNZCGP or New Zealand Medical Council, so file in an appropriate place.
While the conference may be approved for up to a maximum of 18 hours GPs
attending can only claim for the conference sessions they attend.
Delegates will need to complete the self-recording form (available in the
proceedings booklet). This form can be kept as the Certificate of
Attendance, so practitioners participating in GPEP 2 or MOPs have the
necessary documentation for submission to the RNZCGP when this is
requested.
Q. Are there any other options for accommodation?
A. Conference Matters has negotiated discounted rates for accommodation, however there is limited supply at the
hotels. If accommodation is fully booked there are numerous other options available in
Christchurch. Visit
