Hospitals and Healthcare
There are many challenges facing hospitals and healthcare in the modern world we are living in. I've created this curation collection to save articles that help me understand what modern health in society is.  The articles here are general in nature and placed here to promote discussion. We advise that you talk with your health professional before changing any of your medication or treatment options.  Any of the online courses listed here may (or may not) be open for access or enrolment. Most are free to browse, some may charge a small fee if you wish to receive a certificate or record of learning.   Every effort is made to ensure that these links are up to date and be aware that some of these articles may be behind a 'paywall'. If you can’t get into an article, email me and I may be able to assist.  Views are my own.

Study into Chronic Pain in Maori yields vital information

Study into Chronic Pain in Maori yields vital information | Hospitals and Healthcare | Scoop.it
A team working in Northland, Auckland, and at Middlemore Hospital has published important research which gives significant insights into managing chronic pain, especially among Maori. In Aotearoa, one in five adults experiences chronic (long-term) pain, and Maori are more likely to experience this kind of pain than the rest of the population. However, till now little research has looked at how pain services can best be provided for Maori.

New nurse Kayla Hemara-Wahanui believes having Māori work in a Māori organisation is a given.
