Poetry in Place
Poetry in Place

Poetry in Place is a collaboration between Te Toka Tumai Auckland (ADHB) and the University of Auckland, sponsored by the A+ Trust.

This installation of 24 poems across Auckland City Hospital, Starship, and Greenlane Clinical Center is an exciting opportunity to showcase some of Aotearoa’s best poets, whilst providing a moment for patients, whānau and staff to pause, reflect and engage with creative work. This moment of positive distraction is an occasion to sit in the wairua in a way we don’t often get to here, celebrating the intersection of creativity and healing.

Pacific Patients and Families’ Experience of Care in Adult General Medical Services
Pacific Patients and Families’ Experience of Care in Adult General Medical Services

Maori & Pacific patients and their whānau experience inequitable health outcomes in Aotearoa NZ. In 2018 Auckland DHB launched an initiative to better understand the experiences of Māori and Pacific patients and their whānau on our general medicine wards, as part of our work towards health equity. This resulted in two standalone pieces of in-depth qualitative research; here we present the ‘Pacific experience of care in general medicine wards at Auckland DHB’.

Whānau Room Rejuvenation
Whānau Room Rejuvenation

Whānau rooms acknowledge the essential role whānau play in a patient’s hauora. In 2018 the Whānau Room Rejuvenation project was initiated to explore the condition and intended purpose of the 45 inpatient whānau room spaces across Auckland District Health Board sites. Six of the whānau rooms have now been fully refurbished, with the remaining 39 to be completed over the next 2-3 years.
