Receiving and responding to complaints are a normal and inevitable part of being a health practitioner but some clinicians receive more complaints than others. In New Zealand, complaints are rising. In 2024, the Health and Disability Commissioner received more complaints than ever before—a 52% increase over five years. For Chinese medicine, most complaints are about communication, consent, boundaries, or dissatisfaction with treatment.

Join us for a one-hour interactive session organised and facilitated by CMCNZ, delivered by Medical Protection Society, exploring how to reduce your risk of complaints and how to manage them effectively if they arise. Using real-life Chinese medicine scenarios, this session will provide practical strategies you can apply immediately in practice.

The Year of the Yang Fire Horse begins on 17 February. This is time to take the opportunity to join friends and family, leave the problems and difficulties of day-to-day life aside and enjoy the company of loved ones.

The year ahead is one in which we will benefit most from looking beyond our differences and working together. A time to acknowledge our own and each other’s strengths as we move through the weeks and months ahead of us.

All the very best for the New Year from all of us at CMCNZ.
