Many nurses are gathering formally around the regions as the NZNO Annual Regional Conventions continue. Te Matau a Māui (Hawke’s Bay) Regional Convention is on Today 3 May at the Water Bar in Napier.
NZNO president
Grant Brookes and Kaiwhakahaere Kerri Nuku will be
attending.
A highlight of the day is guest speaker Ngaira
Harker, Nurse Director, Māori Health, at Hawke’s Bay DHB,
who will be talking about the voice of Māori nurses.
As well as giving a glimpse into her own career, Ngaira will be discussing how to increase the contribution of Māori nurses and improve Māori health outcomes.
“To have a Māori nursing workforce representative of the population it serves we need to support Māori nursing workforce growth,” she said. “Collectively we also need to better engage culturally as well as clinically to improve health outcomes.”
Shannon Bradshaw, Māori Midwifery Consultant
at Hawke’s Bay DHB, will also be speaking.
The theme
for the 2018 conventions is “Nurses a Voice to Lead –
Health Is a Human Right”, in line with the International
