For our Australian delegates – This hīkoi is all about levelling up your cultural safety and becoming even better at patient-centred care. You’ll be diving into the unique world of Pōneke Māori culture and history, but the insights you’ll hear apply to all Indigenous peoples. By exploring the Meihana Model in a different cultural context, you’ll gain fresh perspectives, and get ready to boost your care and connect with your patients of all cultures on a deeper level, while seeing the sights of beautiful Wellington.
Learning Outcomes:
- Explore how learning about Indigenous cultures, histories, and experiences can make healthcare more welcoming and supportive for everyone.
- Use the Meihana Model to identify cultural, social, and historical factors that influence health outcomes and use this to provide care that fits their needs.
- Discover ways to work closely with Indigenous patients, respecting their world view, values, and strengths.
- Reflect on what we know, what we don’t know, and how we feel about Indigenous cultures, so we can learn and grow as healthcare providers.
