February 2023

Hello, and welcome to the February Edition of Supplyline. In this edition there are several updates relating to Standards, Sterilising Technology Course Sponsorships and this year’s NZSSA Annual Conference, which is being held at Te Papa in Wellington. There are reports from both Shelagh Thomas and Alison Stewart who both attended the WFHSS World Congress late last year in Barcelona, Spain.

We have had a rough time over the last few weeks, storms and cyclones have certainly been a key factor in many people’s lives. For those of you that live in the affected areas, I hope that you and yours are all well and safe.

Just a reminder that it is the NZSSA’s anniversary in April of this year. This will be the 49th Anniversary for the NZSSA. Next year is our 50th Anniversary and we are already planning how we as a professional group can celebrate this achievement.

Please enjoy this edition of Supplyline. I have included the dates for when information needs to be with me for inclusion into Supplyline. I would love to see pictures of sterilising units and the staff that work in them and I’m happy to include them in Supplyline. If there is anything that you would like to see in Supplyline in the future,
