We are pleased to announce that Tim Bennett has been hired as the Coordinator for Positive Speakers Bureau. He has been involved in the HIV sector for many years and we are excited to have him on board. We caught up with Tim recently and got to know a bit more about his life in Hamilton and his role at PSB.
While we continued to offer our services throughout COVID, we have felt the onward effects as organisations and learning institutes grapple with events and how to run them safely and within the restriction guidelines. However, since the move to the orange traffic light level, we are slowly seeing a return to business as usual and an increase in face-to-face speaker bookings once more – we look forward to seeing more PSB engagements in the second half of 2022.
We are thrilled to share with you that our HIV Essentials online course received an endorsement by the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners (RNZCGP). This means that any GPs who complete our HIV Essential course can claim 2 credits towards their continuing professional development. Along with the NZ Midwifery Association and the NZ Dental Associations brings our total number of endorsements to three!

It has been a year of turmoil, disruption, separation, cancellations, and disappointment but despite these challenges, the PSB have finished on a wonderful high.
