News from Health ProfessionalNZ New Zealand
New Zealand continues to be seriously short of certain categories of registered health professionals and the situation is not likely to improve significantly in the near future. We are presently looking for suitably qualified & experienced Psychiatrists, General Practitioners and other doctors; many Mental Health Nurses, Intellectual/Learning Disability Nurses for a new, state of the art unit that has recently opened, Radiation Therapists, Sonographers & Mammographers. Also Senior Occupational Therapists and Senior Clinical Psychologists and CoExisting Disorders Clinicians.
Health ProfessionalNZ is a Health Recruitment Agency for Health Professionals run by Health Professionals. We have established very close relationships with employers in the health sector. We are not in the market to compete with other recruitment agencies but primarily to help health organisations to be fully staffed. We do not charge our candidates. Our office is situated in Wellington. Our staff are specialists in the health recruitment field - be it medical, nursing, technical or allied health. We have links to Government Departments and Ministries and access to the District Health Boards in New Zealand.
Destination New Zealand is hot for 2012
Hot on the heels of Rugby World Cup, and a bag full of international tourism accolades from 2011, New Zealand is set to stay in the international spotlight for 2012.
The 2011 collection of significant awards - designating New Zealand as hot, popular and eco-friendly - confirms Aotearoa New Zealand as a top international destination for visitors looking to fulfill their travel dreams.
Travel authority Lonely Planet has picked New Zealand’s Southern Lakes in the ‘top 10 regions to visit in 2012’, and New Zealand was voted top global eco-tourism destination at both World Traveller and Viagens e Turismo tourism awards in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
New Zealand ranked third strongest country brand in the 2011 FutureBrand Country Brand Index (CBI), and in the past 12 months many individual Kiwis - sports people, film-makers, authors, designers, artists, wine-makers and tourism operators - have been recognised as among the best in their field.
Researched destination
New Zealand is among the most researched destinations for UK tourists according to flight comparison website Skyscanner’s 2012 global travel trends report - an analysis of flight search data from 15 million monthly users.
In October, The Telegraph (UK) readers named New Zealand as their second favorite worldwide destination at the Telegraph Travel Awards, and Wanderlust (UK) travel magazine readers voted New Zealand their third most satisfying holiday destination.
Rugby World Cup which brought 133,000 visitors - including significant numbers of UK tourists - to New Zealand in September and October, also delivered New Zealand landscapes and culture along with live rugby coverage to a massive international viewing audience in 230-plus countries.
Air New Zealand
Global airline industry magazine Air Transport World named Air New Zealand as the world's top airline. It was the second time in three years for Air NZ which has won more ATW Awards - described as ‘the Oscars of the airline industry' - than any other airline in the past decade.
The ATW judges said Air New Zealand was an industry trendsetter in several areas, including product innovation and social media, and praised it for its staff motivation. It also recognised the airline's environmental initiatives.
Earlier in 2011, Air New Zealand’s revolutionary ‘Skycouch’ - the economy seating that folds down into a bed - won the Aviation category of Condé Nast Traveller’s 2011 Innovation and Design Awards.
