We invite you to join us for the inaugural Endoscopy and Laparoscopy Auckland GP Symposium a 3/4 Day, designed specifically for General Practice, combining practical gastroenterology with day-surgery insights you can apply immediately.

This is not traditional CME. We’ve built the day around real-world decision-making, helping you feel confident about:

• When to investigate
• When to refer
• When to reassure
• And how to get your patients seen sooner

All within a focused, high-quality format, with time built in for connection and networking with colleagues and specialists

Keynote Speaker – Wayne Cutfield

Professor of Paediatric Endocrinology, Liggins Institute.
Gut microbiome origami: Can it be manipulated to improve health outcomes? A thought-provoking session linking emerging science with everyday general practice.
