Te Tiriti o Waitangi and Healthcare

Workshop Type: Introductory | Workshop Level: Four | Catering: Refreshments provided

This interactive workshop explores Te Tiriti o Waitangi (The Treaty of Waitangi), one of the founding documents of Aotearoa, within the context of healthcare. Designed for participants with little or no previous knowledge of Te Tiriti, we'll examine its principles and their relevance to healthcare services and practitioners. We'll consider practical opportunities for applying these principles in your work, helping you provide more culturally responsive and equitable care. 

• Build an accessible and balanced understanding of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and its significance in Aotearoa.

• Explore the historical and contemporary context of Te Tiriti within health and wellbeing, and common and less common myths and facts.

• Consider how Te Tiriti relates to equity, relationships, and professional practice.

• Gain confidence to articulate how you apply Te Tiriti and explore practical ways to bring Te Tiriti into your everyday relationships, conversations, decision-making, practice, and service delivery.

Everyone who provides healthcare and wellbeing support in Aotearoa, including general and allied health practitioners, nurses, practice managers, counsellors, therapists, and anyone supporting people in social, community, and healthcare settings.
