Return of ITP Thursday Live
ITP's magazine-style fortnightly Thursday Live Webinars are back! And first up will be a doozy - the Ministry of Health's head of Digital and Data Shayne Hunter talking about tech's role in the upcoming health reforms.
New Zealand's health sector is undergoing a significant reform, with a move away from Primary Health Organisations (PHOs), the creation of a Maori Health Authority and the merger of 20 District Health Boards (DHBs) into a new organisation called Health New Zealand.
A huge part of the reform is figuring out how the technology and digital side will work; not just keeping the lights on across the country's hospitals, but how to keep innovation at the forefront of the reforms and ensure the emerging new health system is world leading in the use of technology to ensure better health outcomes for kiwis.
As always, the Thursday Live Webinar will kick off with our Tech NewsChat Panel talking through the big stories of the week and will finish with extended Q&A with Shayne.
The live webinar is free but you'll need to register.
We have a great line-up of guests coming up in the Thursday Live Webinars. Following this talk on the 9th, we have Colin D Ellis joining us on the 23rd, talking about his new book on team culture. It'll be another cracker - more details soon.

We've had heaps of requests for cybersecurity courses in recent times, so have scheduled 2 live online short courses for October.

Become an ITP Mentor
As many ITP members will be aware, we recently re-launched our Mentoring programme for tech professionals. The free programme helps our people set clear career goals and objectives, understand that they have the ability to achieve these, and put in place a plan to do it.
The launch has been a huge success... so much so that we need more mentors! We're especially looking for senior developers, people who have moved from ops into management roles. and anyone with gaming or design type experience.
The process is super easy, and we provide induction, guidance, resources etc - you're not on your own.
