Join us at the Ko Awatea Centre, Middlemore Hospital, for the OPAT Symposium 2025 on 3 November 2025.
Hear from leading overseas and New Zealand clinicians as they share the challenges and learnings of managing both simple and complex intravenous and oral antimicrobial therapies across the motu. This symposium is an opportunity to raise awareness of how OPAT/OPIVA/HITH services operate across different regions and to begin a national conversation about how we can shape and expand these services, drawing inspiration from international experience.
Explore how collaboration across clinical specialties, hospital services, and community care can enhance patient outcomes and system efficiency. Participate in key discussions on service models, antimicrobial stewardship, patient safety, and innovation in OPAT delivery. Connect with colleagues across Aotearoa New Zealand and abroad, and contribute to shaping the future of outpatient antimicrobial therapy.
Don’t miss this chance to join us as we build momentum towards a stronger, more connected national OPAT service inspired by global best practice.
