The New Zealand Society of Anaesthetists (NZSA, the Society) was established in 1948. Our motto 'Salus Per Scientiam' ('Safety through Knowledge') refers to our patients' wellbeing and safety through our knowledge as anaesthetists. This is reflected in the Society's logo - a pentagram, which is an ancient symbol of safety and represents a safe homecoming.

Our Society supports continuing education and research for and by all those involved with anaesthesia (anaesthetists, technicians, nurses, allied health professionals, technology companies) so that we may improve safety and benefits to our patients.
