What this paper is about

Edit What this paper is about Content

Tena koutou katoa, nau mai haere mai, a very warm welcome to Socio-political Context of Health and Healthcare (HLTSC 104).

Chris,Cheryl, Lisette, Marg and Hilde alongside other Clinical Academics, are looking forward to working with you all.

This paper invites you to explore the social and political influences of nursing; the lectures and tutorial sessions provide opportunity to learn from the experiences of each other and a range of others from across the health context. Such insights will challenge and develop your own perspectives and how you will practice as a nurse. This paper will provide a foundation for understanding social justice and equity issues.These issues are crucial to nurses addressing power imbalances and creating culturally safe places in the health system to contribute to achieving equity in health outcomes for our population.

No reira, kia kaha, kia maia, kia manawanui be strong, be steadfast, be determined. Reach out for help when you need it.

Chris and Cheryl
