Calling all articles and advertising bookings for Issue 2 2021.

The focus for this issue is Oncology - working with clients with cancer and surviving cancer

We will be featuring articles from a range of health professionals, covering related topics.

Deadline for articles and advertisement bookings: 1st June 2021

For this upcoming issue we are wanting content on these areas:

  • Writing our "Pathology" column looking at Breast Cancer
  • Writing about a business-related topic in our "Business Matters" column - e.g. setting up an intergrative practice, specialising in oncology work, establishing yourself in a hospital or hospice setting working with patients going through cancer treatment or palliative care.
  • Are you a massage therapy student or new graduate and keen to be in our "Spotlight on Students & New Grads" column? This can be a great way of connecting with other members across the country, engage in some self-publicity and it is also a fantastic way to promote the benefits of doing formal training in massage therapy and what it can lead to. Contact the editors to request the profile template document.
  • Have you changed location or set up a new practice - tell us about it in the "Who's Where" section. Please send information with a picture of your premises.
  • Have you read a really good book on a massage therapy or some other relevant health-related topic, found a new information resource or tool, or been on an excellent evidence-based course which you would like to share with others by writing something for the "Reviews" sections?
  • Have you used a really great product recently and would like to tell others about it in our "Product Review" section?
  • Have you got an event or a local group meeting coming up which our members might be interested in? Let the MNZ Executive Administrator know.
