On behalf of the Wellington Branch of the Paediatric Society of New Zealand we warmly invite you to attend the 2020 GP Paediatric Update.

The Annual GP Update is based on GP requests from last year's meeting and suggested topics from speakers where there appears to be a knowledge gap or there are significant advances. This usually includes clinical case discussions. There are great networking possibilities as one of the major GP education events for the Greater Wellington Region!

The Wellington GP Paediatric Update 2020 has been endorsed by The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners (RNZCGP) and approved for up to 9 CME credits, for the General Practice Educational Programme (GPEP) and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) purposes.
