Te Tāhū Hauora Health Quality & Safety Commission is excited to build on the knowledge gained from our 2023 hui. Join us on Wednesday 15 May 2024 for this 1-day forum at Waipuna Hotel and Conference Centre in Tāmaki Makaurau as we focus on shaping health care together. 

This event is both for consumers and whānau and for people working in the health sector who are interested in helping the health system design services for the communities they serve. You might be new to consumer and whānau engagement, or you might have some consumer engagement experience. You might be a member of the broader community interested in improving health services. Everyone is welcome.

  • Increase your confidence and learn more about taking part in consumer and whānau engagement health initiatives.
  • Explore how the code of expectations is impacting the health sector.
  • Hear how consumers, whānau and community perspectives are shaping the design and delivery of health services.
  • Connect with others involved in consumer and whānau engagement in the health sector and share best practice.

Our aim is for our event to be accessible for everyone. When you complete your registration form, we ask specific questions about accessibility and will contact you directly if we require any more information.
