Patient representation in New Zealand general practice and rural health case-based teaching: a quality improvement exercise.
Healthcare inequity disproportionately affects minority populations in Aotearoa New Zealand. Healthcare providers may contribute to inequity due to their biases. The aim of this study, published in the Journal of Primary Health Care, was to review case-based teaching material to determine its representation of the New Zealand population, and whether there is potential to contribute to implicit bias.
Enhancing effective healthcare communication in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand: Considerations for research, teaching, policy, and practice.
This paper, published in PEC Innovation, presents a conceptual framework for enhancing effective healthcare communication in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. This framework is designed to start conversations, to form the foundation of a dialogue about the priorities and key considerations for developing teaching curricula, professional development, and research programs related to healthcare communication, providing a set of values specifically for the unique contexts of Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. It can also be used to guide interdisciplinary healthcare professionals in advancing research, teaching, policy, and practice related to healthcare communication.
