📣NZSMIRT has a new President!🧑‍⚖️ At our recent AGM in Ōtautahi, Christchurch the NZSMIRT President, Amy Koskela, handed over her "Presidential Chains" to new NZSMIRT President Bernie Bowen. Here is a message for NZSMIRT members from Bernie - at the start of her term to introduce herself and look ahead to what she hopes to achieve.👋Tēnā koutou kātoaFirstly I would like to ngā mihi and acknowledge all the past presidents and members who have helped shape the history of our professional body, the New Zealand Society of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy (NZSMIRT). I will draw inspiration from them all and I thank them for the foundations on which we all stand. Kia whakatōmuri, te haere whakatōmua – we look to the past to move forward. In particular, I would like to acknowledge and thank Amy Koskela for her mahi and leadership. She has been encouraging, approachable and dedicated to serving on the NZSMIRT board as president and was involved in many projects to promote both RT and MI professions both on a national and international level. I look forward to continuing to work with Amy on the board as her input has been inspiring and pivotal for the future.Ko wai au (who am I?)Ko Tangihua te maungaKo Wairoa te awaKo Tangiterōria te maraeKo Ngātokimatawhaorua te wakaKo Ngāpuhi nga ratou Ngāti Whātua te iwiKo Te parawhau te hapūKo Murray Edmonds tōku pāpāKo Fran Edmonds tōku māmāNō Ōtepoti ahauKo Bernie Bowen tōku ingoaI am excited to serve you in the role of NZSMIRT president. I continue to work at Dunedin Hospital, where I have worked for over 13 years; I am currently the charge MIT for fluoroscopy and a clinical tutor for ARA. I have 4 beautiful daughters who keep me busy and inspire me daily. My hope in this role is to inspire and support members to aim high and work at the top of scope. I believe we are in the perfect position to extend our profession in all facets to achieve success of the highest level. As a board we will continue the mahi to provide members with knowledge and understanding to ensure we all work in a culturally safe manner as part of upholding our obligations to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. I want to thank the board for voting me on to serve this next term and I hope I can serve the members of the society well. I am open for people to reach out to me for a kōrero at any stage. I look forward to serving you all. Kua tawhiti kē tō haeranga mai, kia kore e haere tonu. He nui rawa ō mahi, kia kore e mahi tonu” - you have come to far not to go further, you have done too much not to do more (Sir James Henare). 🙌 ... See MoreSee Less
