Advanced study in applied aspects of health service design and provision to Māori individuals, whānau and communities, ensuring clear design logic and connections between services, practice and equitable health outcomes.
This is a practice-oriented paper in hauora Māori which aims to enhance health practice, increase effective service design and development, and increase scholarship in hauora Māori.
The paper will focus on evidence-informed approaches to best-practice in hauora Māori within contemporary healthcare in Aotearoa / New Zealand. Students who undertake this paper will be equipped for both academic (further post-graduate study) and health sector pathways.
The paper will build on prior learning, and will incorporate theory and practice in hauora Māori spanning traditional views and perspectives, culturally responsive approaches and strategies, culturally centred leadership and management, and innovative service design and delivery.
