The Pae Ora ki Waitaha working group, which sits under the Population Health and Access Service Level Alliance, has completed stage one of a project to look at what people and their whānau need to be healthy and well.

A flexible, principles-based framework called partnership in design, which puts people and whānau at the centre of the design and improvement of services, has been developed under the Te Tiriti and Equity Group. This approach places an emphasis on purposefully engaging identified partners in the planning, development, and review of health and wellbeing services.

Te Papa Hauora presents its free annual research talks event – ‘We’re talking health - starting well, ageing well and living well’.

A new electronic resource has been developed to help lead maternity carer and core midwives access appropriate breastfeeding education, advice and support services for women and whānau in their care.
