Healthcare Professionals

Our engagement with healthcare professionals ensures that our standards remain high, that healthcare professionals prescribe and administer our medicines and diagnostic products correctly and that patients understand the associated benefits and risks.

Roche interacts with healthcare professionals to evolve the healthcare ecosystem in Aotearoa New Zealand, to educate on how to prescribe and administer our medicines and diagnostics products correctly and to ensure that patients are supported with information to understand a medicine’s role in managing their disease, including benefits and risks.

Each year Roche supports healthcare professionals to attend independent local and international conferences. Conferences are a vital means by which healthcare professionals exchange scientific and clinical information. Local healthcare association conferences, often supported by Roche, provide a platform by which healthcare professionals share knowledge, network with each other and enhance their medical expertise. Likewise, attendance at international conferences by New Zealand healthcare professionals is a key part of ensuring Aotearoa New Zealand remains current with international best practice in healthcare delivery.

We also provide educational grants to healthcare organisations, who support their individual members to develop their healthcare expertise further.

Roche also supports the clinical and scientific community through the provision of two grants – the  in partnership with the  and the  in partnership with the .

Roche also convenes clinical and scientific meetings here in Aotearoa New Zealand to educate and inform healthcare professionals about our medicines and services together with gathering advice on how best to ensure New Zealanders benefit from our medicines.

Healthcare professionals may be engaged and paid to speak or provide expert advice in these local meetings.
