NZIHM National Conference – Thursday 26 to Friday 27 June 2008 – Christchurch
The New Zealand Institute of Health Management
The 2008 Conference theme “The New Zealand Health Management Sector – Alive and Well” reflects the changing nature of health management in this country and the demands on health managers to perform and be accountable. At a time of increasing pressure on health managers, the Conference will focus on topics such as the vision for the health sector into the immediate future, quality and safety, process improvement, healthy thinking and the war for talent amongst other key issues. The intent is to stimulate health management thought and provide some practical tools to properly equip health managers to cope with an ever-demanding environment.

This workshop will run over 7 sessions and use the creative process of Body Casting to explore the issues around burnout for health professionals e.g. doctors, nurses, therapists and counsellors etc. Participants will be using their creativity to explore a new path that supports who they really are and what gives their life joy and meaning.
Both Estelle Memdelsohn and Judith Rosamund have worked with USA artist Christiane Corbat, who taught them the process of body casting as healing art. They have facilitated a number of workshops as well as working individually with people to create healing sculptures.
Estelle works as a Psychologist and Psychodramatist, and Judith as a Professional Artist and Psychosynthesis Counsellor.
