Welcome to 2015 NZIMRT-AIR Scientific Meeting!

Australasia’s premier scientific meeting for radiographers and radiation therapists.

On behalf of the 2015 NZIMRT-AIR Scientific Meeting Convening Committee we would like to invite you to Wellington for the 3rd Joint NZIMRT-AIR Scientific Meeting.

The New Zealand Institute of Medical Radiation Technology (NZIMRT) and the Australian Institute of Radiography (AIR) are co-hosting the 2015 Scientific Meeting from 24-26 July in Wellington, New Zealand. The NZIMRT and AIR are the professional bodies representing radiographers, radiation therapists and sonographers in New Zealand and Australia.

2015 NZIMRT-AIR is an opportunity to bring the profession and various groups and specialties together to learn about and share the latest developments in the profession. Our goal is to explore the dynamic, ever-changing technology impacting our various sub-specialties - Radiation Therapy, Radiography, Mammography, CT, Interventional, MRI, Nuclear Medicine, Ultrasound, Administration and Education - showcasing how the latest technologies are being implemented for the improvement of patient outcomes. Concurrent sessions, workshops and a student program are being planned.

2015 NZIMRT-AIR is also the event where you can tell us what ’The Cloud’ means to you and how it is shaping our future, by presenting your work, research or study. We invite all members of our profession to participate and share by presenting a paper or poster Wellington in July. For further details on topics and abstract submission, please visit our Abstract Submission page.

Not only does 2015 NZIMRT-AIR promise to be an informative, educational and challenging event, but it gives you the chance to discover exactly why Wellington deserves its title as ’The coolest little capital in the world’, and has been rated as the 4th top city to visit by Lonely Planet. 

With its vibrant city culture, sunny climate, beautiful scenery and outstanding food, wine and shopping, this makes it the perfect conference destination.  Make the most of your time here and experience all that is on offer with adventure, entertainment and culinary delights. 

In keeping with the conference theme, our social media platforms will be active - so make sure to join us on Facebook  and Twitter  – Thecloud2015. 

We look forward to seeing you here in July 2015.
