As a region we are wanting to celebrate those undertaking research within the maternity experience. We are inviting midwives, nurses, and medical personnel who are engaged in postgraduate study or research within the maternity field to share their work, their journey, and knowledge they are contributing to maternity care.

This event aims to:

• Celebrate research achievements at all stages
• Increase awareness of postgraduate study pathways
• Encourage and inspire others to see research as accessible and achievable
• Build a supportive research culture within our Canterbury/West Coast maternity services

It will be an evening to mingle with maternity colleagues and emerse yourself in emerging research while enjoying food and beverages.

It is strongly requested that you register you intention to attend this event for planning and catering purposes. The registration link below will take you to a google form to complete.
