Commission’s work shared widely at general practice conference
Representatives from the Health Quality & Safety Commission profiled a wide range of our primary care-related work at the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioner’s conference in July.
In addition to presenting our work, we supported team members from a 2018 Whakakotahi project team to attend. Janet Tekori and Dr John Kennelly from The Fono Health & Social Services in Auckland presented their ‘happy skin’ quality improvement project.
Commission staff members Deon York, Sarah Young, Chris Walsh and Jane Cullen at the Commission's conference trade stand.
