Hamilton 4U Forum, 23 February 2007
"United We Will Achieve": K'aute Pasifika Services' moto fits well with Te Pou's philosophy - here RN for the service Mupopo Faumui registers for the forum.
Another warm summer's day greeted our guests at the Hamilton Forum on Friday. It was a smaller crowd this time, but there was still plenty of enthusiasm, and another list of needs came forth:
• Families need to be prioritised and appropriate training and resources need to be available.
• We need to look at families individually to incorporate appropriate cultural needs, eg, a family might have mixed cultural needs.
• There needs to be more of a partnership between DHBs and NGOs with regard to the placement of new graduates of clinical programmes.
• There are some challenges around DBT and RISK training, eg, many wanting to do them, but finding it hard to find places.
• There is a need for a better infrastructure to support professional supervision.
• Infrastructure is also needed for clinical pathways within NGOs.
