We are delighted to invite you to join us for the 2023 ANZAAG Symposium from
Friday 24 to Sunday 26 March 2023 at Crowne Plaza Queenstown, New Zealand. The
theme of our symposium is “Perioperative anaphylaxis: Cutting Edge”. Our
international guest speaker is Professor Paul Michel Mertes. Professor Mertes is
a world-renowned expert in the field of perioperative anaphylaxis and has
published extensively in this area.
On Friday afternoon there will be an opportunity to take part in Anaphylaxis
workshops which will meet the ANZCA CPD Anaphylaxis Emergency Response criteria.
There is also a Skin testing workshop facilitated by Mr Roy The and Dr Maia
Brewerton where anyone involved in anaesthetic allergy investigation can learn
more about the technical aspects of skin testing as well as the interpretation
of skin test results.
The main symposium will take place on Saturday. Professor Mertes will be joined
by a panel of speakers from Australia and New Zealand, and they will share with
us some of the latest developments on topics including the epidemiology,
pathogenesis, management, and investigation of perioperative anaphylaxis.
On Sunday, all delegates are invited to join us for breakfast and to present
interesting cases for discussion in this informal allergy M&M session. This will
be followed by an ANZAAG members business meeting.
If you would like to join ANZAAG as a member, please indicate this when you
register.
We look forward to welcoming you to stunning Queenstown.
