Welcome To The New Issue Of The College’s Asia Pacific Journal Of Health Management For 2023

Abstract

Welcome to the new issue of the College’s Asia Pacific Journal Of Health Management for 2023. I trust the year is treating you well and you are continuing on your way to achieving professional and personal goals set at the beginning of the year.

At this time of year the College is particularly busy preparing for our annual Asia Pacific Health Leadership Congress which this year is being held at the National Convention Centre, Canberra, 11-13 October 2023. The Congress seats are filling up fast and we have a wonderful program in place with themes of Sustainability and Workforce.

Our team aims to drastically reduce our own wastage for this event – e.g. there will be no satchel this year with all individual information including our sponsor promotions on our Congress app, recyclable plastic badges and a giveaway drink bottle made from sugarcane for each attendee with several water stations for re-filling. It is not too late to register for this Congress! https://www.achsm.org.au/canberra2023 

Our 2024-2027 ACHSM Strategic Plan will be launched at the Congress. This plan has been several months coming to fruition and incorporates an aim to be a stronger system voice for our members and all health managers and leaders.

We are committed to supporting great health leadership across the health system and the profession of health management. It is the unique body of knowledge that we foster and develop through such vehicles as this Journal.

Thank you for spending time catching up with the latest research in health leadership and management through the articles you will find here in this Journal. Your commitment to lifelong learning is the cornerstone of our great profession.
