It's a surprise for Janet, but being the clever woman she is and having to undergo yellow fever vaccination, she understands that there will be some time in the sweltering Amazon jungle. She also knows that she has to prepare for colder climes. As a

 Performance reviews for clinicians have been fraught with difficulty, based on the complexity of delivering health care and the sanctity of the patient doctor relationship. Increasingly, however doctors are required to work in teams and collaborate in the delivery of health care for individual patients. In other words, to practice the art of medicine as individuals but to practice the

We are one of the happiest places in the world! The Paris based Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has produced an interactive tool measuring 20 different indicators in 34 countries. New Zealand scores in the top four with Canada, Australia and Sweden.  New Zealand has the highest suicide rate in the world in the age 15 to 24 bracket with 26.7 suicides per

Happily, the editor of NZs largest newspaper understands the implications and ethics of healthworkers striking putting money before patients. see link http://www.nzherald.co.nz/editorial/search/results.cfm?kw1=editorial&kw2=&st=gsa  perhaps it is indeed time to change legislation; plenty wont agree though if the comments to the editorial are anything to go by.
