Memorandum of understanding with Medical Council of NZ
In November 2024, an updated Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the New Zealand Private Surgical Hospitals Association (NZPSHA) and Te Kaunihera Rata o Aotearoa | Medical Council of New Zealand (MCNZ).
​
The revised MoU enhances the process for clear and open exchange of information about credentialed doctors in our member hospitals with the MCNZ. The MoU allows each participating member hospital and the Council to clearly define their roles with respect to management of any competence, performance, conduct or health issues. Under the MoU, member hospitals can liaise closely with MCNZ when concerns about a credentialed doctor are identified.
Memorandum of understanding with EGGNZ
The Endoscopy Guidance Group for New Zealand (EGGNZ) was established in 2015 and represents 23 stakeholder groups. Its aim is to support the Quality of Endoscopy across the public and private sectors in New Zealand.

It was developed in recognition of the need for a governance structure:
​
· to support the National Endoscopy Quality Improvement Programme (NEQIP)
