In 2022 we established an equity and cultural safety working and governance group.

We held two Māori-led huis and began refining a set of Māori-led values. This involved engagement with senior Māori clinicians and advisors.

We have evaluations of courses from all participants and have undertaken interviews with almost 100 NetworkZ instructors to understand how the programme is working and how it could be improved. This year we are working with Māori and Pasifica colleagues to explore their experiences of the training and where we can work together to improve the experience for Māori and Pacific participants and improve health equity in Aotearoa.

Explored patient and community engagement opportunities and focus groups

Adapted course content to improve cultural safety and inclusiveness, iterating changes with Māori clinicians and designers.

We're developing a Te Ao Māori programme and are reviewing educational resources, with consultation and co-design from Māori and medical advisors.
