Te Ngākau Ora

Te Ngākau Ora:  background and purpose

Te Ngākau Ora was formed by Te ORA in 1996 as an informal collegial support programme.  The programme supports medical practitioners in a personal and professional sense.  The programme recognises the value of collegial support provided by senior practitioners’ who are experts in their specialist areas and who are culturally competent.  It is about collegial support in which Māori principles of tautoko, awhi and aroha for others is given expression.

What can Te Ngākau Ora do for you as a Māori medical practitioner or Māori medical student?
