Te pou i ngā hiranga kaihoko hei poutokomanawa o ngā mahi tiaki hauora | Putting what matters to consumers at the centre of health care.

The Health Quality & Safety Commission is hosting a shared decision-making and advance care planning virtual hui for health care workers and managers. It will be an engaging and thoughtful two days of discussions and exploration about our role in making what matters most to our patients and their whānau the centre of our health care planning and delivery.

Over the last decade there has been an increase in the number of programmes in the health sector aimed at supporting patients and whānau to participate in planning care, but there is still much to do.  More recently, COVID-19 has highlighted the importance of listening to what matters to people in determining what care and treatment is appropriate and best meets goals, cultural needs, values and preferences.

At this two-day virtual hui, you will hear from those facing these challenges, the actions and innovations put in place, and lessons learnt. Head to the event website to register and view the full programme, or contact events@hqsc.govt.nz for more information.
