Hypnotherapy can help your patients live a better and healthier life.

I'm Dr Patrick McCarthy and I've been a medical hypnotist for 25 years and being based in Wellington I mostly treat local people. However a few patients travel to Wellington from every part of the country to see me.

They do so despite the increased cost based on recommendations of family or friends or their GP. Last year during the first lockdown I experimented with delivering hypnosis online using a secure and confidential medical format Doxy-Me. The quality of video link and the increased acceptability of this approach has been a happy by-product of lockdown. It has proven to be almost as effective as in-person therapy.

I am now able to offer online hypnosis to any patient in New Zealand. My main expertise is in the treatment of

• Anxiety
• Chronic Pain
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome
• Smoking.
• Insomnia

We are proud to be hosting one of New Zealand’s most exciting health conferences to be held this year. The lessons learnt from the COVID-19 pandemic and the rollout of the Health and Disability System Review has created the perfect backdrop for a gathering of New Zealand health sector representatives. We believe this event will attract high interest from a broad range of medical professionals.

Our theme this year is:

Building for the future – transforming the health sector
Ka mate kāinga tahi, ka ora kāinga rua
(from adversity comes opportunity to make change)

New Zealand’s response to the global pandemic will be a core part of the programme, in particular how we’ll look at how we build our resilience and transform the way general practice and rural hospitals operate in this current environment. The College is committed to improving cultural safety and health equity, highlighting areas where additional support is needed – in relation to the pandemic response and in terms of future planning for our health system.

The conference will showcase advances in health care technology, new clinical research, environmental and sector sustainability, rural health, continuity of care, and the commitment to continuous quality improvement. The health sector is continuously evolving, the rate of change accelerated last year was phenomenal and now we have our eyes firmly set on building a brighter future and transforming our health system for the better.

Kind Regards,

Organising Committee
2021 Conference for General Practice
