FIONA RITSMA, NEW ZEALAND BLOOD SERVICE
Fiona was appointed to the position of Chief Executive of the New Zealand Blood Service (NZBS) in October 2007. NZBS is a national service established in 1998 as a Crown Entity to provide the nation with blood and related blood products and services. With the changing demand for product – in particular a move away from plasma derived Biostate to treat people with Haemophilia and increasing use of other products, NZBS faces a number of challenges over the next few years. Fiona will provide an overview of NZBS the organisation, outline the challenges and explain what the NZBS Team is doing to address them. Fiona’s career started as a radiotherapy radiographer in Christchurch. She moved to Auckland in the late 80’s to take up the role of Charge Radiographer in the Oncology Centre at Auckland Hospital. She held a variety of management roles at the Auckland District Health Board over the following 18 years and was General Manager for Clinical Specialty Services for her final 6 years prior to joining NZBS. Her management philosophy hinges strongly on teamwork and leadership development. Fiona has been a member of NZIHM since 1990 has recently stepped down from National Council after 8 years, is in the Auckland Branch Committee and was National President from 2001 – 2004.
