Regional Child Health Workshop Primary care support for thriving children and families in the first 1,000 days.
Monday, 3rd September 2018
We are creating a shared regional resource of principles for working with whānau who may have challenges utilising primary care services for early child health.
11:30am to 2:30pm
We would welcome your feedback about what works, and what could work, in your community.
A workshop for ‘front-line’ staff from around the Midland region: -
General practice staff (e.g. GPs and Practice Nurses)
-
Well Child / Tamariki Ora programme staff
-
Lead Maternity Carers and midwives
-
Whānau support staff and Kaiāwhina.
The focus is on: -
Māori child health equity, in particular how to work with and support ‘hard-to-reach’ whānau.
-
Discussions and handovers with other primary health care professionals in the ‘first 1,000 days’ (conception to two years old), to support holistic health & wellbeing of whānau and child.
-
Utilising whānau support programmes to facilitate engagement and relationships with primary care services.
-
Tools and practices to engage with whānau about their health and wellbeing needs, and sharing assessment information between health providers.
