Donna Clapham and her team at Workz4U Conference Management Limited organised the NZPS Annual Scientific Meeting in March this year. Donna has been organising the NZPS conferences for many years and does an outstanding job. Preceding the conference, Donna is always available and replies promptly to the queries or concerns from the NZPS Executive and the Organising Committee. Donna’s wealth of experience has meant that in the last couple of years when cost savings have been necessary, she has been able to provide a detailed account of what is feasible and appropriate to continue to provide, to enable the ASM to continue.
During the conference Donna and her team are friendly, helpful and approachable. They problem solve behind the scenes to make the event run smoothly. The NZPS continue to utilise Donna at Workz4U due to her experience in running conferences, her personable manner and her ability to meet the current climates needs in regards to budgets. NZPS has no hesitation in making this reference and highly recommends Workz4U as a conference organiser. Erica Gleeson, President, New Zealand Pain Society
You have been absolutely outstanding... available, professional and across everything. Your skill set in this area is unparalleled. Dr Rachelle Love (FRACS), Otolaryngologist, Head and Neck Surgeon

"Donna Clapham & Workz4U has worked with the NZ National Trauma Network over the past 5 years and delivered a number of well run educational events in challenging environments. In 2021, a planned face to face symposium for 300 people had to be converted to a fully virtual meeting because of COVID and Donna managed this seamlessly. She ensured that both the educational programme was delivered and the potential budget shortfalls did not eventuate. Donna is client focussed always responding promptly to client requests and feedback from attendees has been positive as well. Donna continues to work as the PCO for conferences run by the National Trauma Network." Professor Ian Civil, Clinical Director, National Trauma Network
"Thank you so much for the opportunity to present at the conference and all the hard work you put in to organising and supporting the presenters, with efficient communication and sorting out accommodation. It was very much appreciated. Melissa J Webb, Allied Health Team Leader – Trauma and Orthopaedic, Alfred Health, Melbourne Australia Speaker NTS 2022
“Donna Clapham and Workz4U have managed two online training workshops in March and August 2022. Both were very complex to arrange, with health professionals joining in from all across Australasia and further afield.
Donna did a superb job planning and co-ordinating everything, despite the challenges of COVID, with her usual pleasant and unflappable demeanour. Highly recommended” Patrick Kelly, Paediatrician, Te Puaruruhau

I really rate you!" Dr Nikki Mills, Paediatric Otolaryngologist, ORL 2020 Organising Committee
