Tuakana Teina 2020

Yesterday we said goodbye to 5 interns who have contributed fresh perspectives to Māori health for the past eight weeks. The interns presented their research projects to staff this week focussing on:
• increasing access to sexual health information and resources for Māori
• increasing access to dental care for rangatahi Māori
• improving rangatahi access to primary care services via Patient Portal (ManageMyHealth)
• understanding the barriers and enablers of access to flu vaccination for kaumātua in the pharmacy setting
• understanding the gout experiences of Māori men
• understanding the barriers and enablers of access to the Bowel Screening Programme for kaumātua.
These projects were meaningful and will inform change in the health system. Each intern provided fresh, young and new perspectives of hauora that improves the way health is achieved. It was a joy to gain five new colleagues over the eight-week programme. We are proud of them and wish them all the best for the future.

Tūruki! Tūruki! Paneke! Paneke!
Mā te tuakana e ārahi i te teina, mā te teina e arahi i te tuakana.
