Starting and ending a hui (meeting) on the right note is key to ensuring participants feel welcome and safe to kōrero (speak). The Canterbury Clinical Network Programme team have worked together with leadership from Hauora Māori and Equity Lead Ngaire Button to create their own value’s based karakia (prayer) to guide their hui. 

In a world where we’re rushing here, there, and everywhere, it can be challenging to find the time and the right person to talk - kōrero with about our wellbeing. 

Leaders from throughout Canterbury’s health system came together for a couple of powerful hours on Friday 19 November to listen and to learn what people are saying across the system.

People from across the health system bid farewell to a long-standing champion of the alliance, Dr Lynley Cook, this month.

The Canterbury Clinical Network (CCN) mahi whānau (work family) have raided their fabric stash and dusted off their sewing machines to help supply face masks to some of the community.

Ensuring the voices of the Hurunui community are heard about the future of their health services is top of the agenda for the new Hurunui Hauora Advisory Group (HHAG).

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.
