A survey has been created to gather thoughts from rangatahi / young people about improvements they would like to see made to sexual and reproductive health services in Waitaha / Canterbury.

A project which brings consumers and health providers together to co-design a new model of care for people with chronic pain held a wānanga – a forum to observe, listen and learn – last month.

Members of the Health Quality and Safety Commission (HQSC) tīma (team) were one of the latest to hear about the Kia Kotahi Partnership in Design framework, a values-based framework which puts people and their whānau at the centre of designing equitable health services.

The Kia Kotahi Partnership in Design (KKPID) project team have been busy the past few months socialising the co-design framework to various groups around the motu (country). The values-based framework ensures that people and their whānau are at the centre of designing equitable health services in a genuine and purposeful partnership.

More than 230 people from across Aotearoa signed up for the ‘Introduction to Kia Kotahi Partnership in Design’ (KKPID) webinar presented by CCN on Monday 17 October.

In 2020/21 the Commission’s Primary Care, Māori Health Outcomes and Partners in Care teams are collaborating to bring a co-design programme specifically to primary care, with a focus on achieving equity in health outcomes.
