AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND SOCIETY OF NUCLEAR MEDICINE
1. Promote: • The advancement of clinical practice of nuclear medicine in Australia and New Zealand; • Research in nuclear medicine; • Public education regarding the principles and applications of nuclear medicine techniques in medicine and biology at national and regional levels; • Co-operation between organisations and individuals interested in nuclear medicine; and • The training of persons in all facets of nuclear medicine. 2. Provide opportunities for collective discussion on all or any aspect of nuclear medicine through standing committees and special groups: • The Technical Standards Committee sets minimum standards and develops quality control procedures for nuclear medicine instrumentation in Australia and New Zealand. • The TSIG Committee is the group overseeing the Technologist Special Interest Group (TSIG) and ensures that all projects, committees and activities of the TSIG align with the values and strategic plan of the ANZSNM. It reports directly to the ANZSNM Federal Council and oversees the two TSIG working groups: CPD & Education Working Group and Technologist Workforce Advocacy Working Group. The committee is able to form working groups to perform specific tasks as required to provide opportunities for the benefit of Technologist members of the ANZSNM after consultation with the ANZSNM Federal Council. • The Radiopharmaceutical Science SIG and a Physics SIG that maintain standards of practice for their particular speciality and provide a forum for development in Australia and New Zealand.
