Hauora Taupori me te Putanga
The Population Health and Access SLC was disestablished in August 2023.
The overarching purpose of the Population Health & Access Service Level Alliance is to monitor population level health (outcomes) and to provide advice and recommendations (to the system through ALT) on innovative and integrative ways of providing care and ways to enable a health promoting health system (to continuously and equitably improve those outcomes).
The Population Health and Access Service Level Alliance was established in December 2017 to elevate the population health work in Canterbury to extend beyond the focus of PHO funded health promotion activities, to initiatives and approaches supporting improved health outcomes across the Canterbury health system and across partner agencies.
Previously a population health work group sat under the Flexible Funding Pool SLA. The SLA’s role was to develop and prioritise population health services that support people to take greater responsibility for their own health and making healthy choices, with a focus on improving access to primary health care for populations with higher health needs.
Through the new Population Health & Access SLA there is an opportunity to develop the Canterbury Health System’s approach to addressing our population's determinants of health, and enabling the vision of a ‘health promoting health system’.
The Canterbury Clinical Network is seeking a co-Chair for the Population Health and Access Service Level Alliance (PHASLA).
The PHASLA was established to elevate the population health work in Canterbury, and enabling the vision of a ‘health promoting health system’. Information about the SLA including the Terms of Reference and Work plan priorities can be viewed here.
The current Chair, Dr Lynley Cook has led this SLA since its inception in 2017 and is stepping down in December 2021. A co-Chair arrangement is now planned to reflect the SLA's commitment to partner with Māori and to acknowledge the significant pieces of work that are being led by this group including interpreter services, revision of the co-design process, access to general practice and Pae Ora ki Waitaha (Healthy futures for Canterbury). The key tasks and responsibilities for this role can be viewed here. The time required to fulfil this position is up to 20 hours per annum, with consideration of reducing this further by dividing tasks between the co-Chairs.
Please distribute this message through your networks to people that have the capabilities sought and may be interested in this role.
Interested parties are asked to submit their Curriculum Vitae and a cover letter to Linda Wensley linda.wensley@ccn.health.nz before 23 August or contact Linda Wensley via email or phone 0275 126 168 for a confidential discussion.
