The Aotearoa New Zealand Trans Health Symposium will bring people together for interactive sessions on research and clinical practice in the area of trans people’s health. We will release key findings from the Aotearoa NZ Trans and Non-binary Health Survey (Counting Ourselves), discuss the latest guidelines for clinical practice, and plan ways to build networks for people around Aotearoa who are working on trans health.

The symposium activities have been endorsed by The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners (RNZCGP) and have been approved for up to 5.75 CME credits for the General Practice Educational Programme (GPEP) and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) purposes.
