NURSING IN TE TAI TOKERAU, NORTHLAND Nurses constitute the largest health workforce in Northland making up nearly half the workforce of employed staff with NDHB, and a large contingent of the primary health care, NGO and aged care sector. Over 1,200 nurses are employed with NDHB and another 500 nurses employed within Primary Health Care, Non-government Organisations, Maori Providers and Aged care. Over the past ten years support for Nursing in Northland has varied impacting on the capacity and capability of the workforce. More recently there has been noteworthy evidence of a stronger commitment to supporting nursing leadership. The Primary Health Care Nurse Integration Leader roles established in 2003 (now known as the Associate Directors of Nursing: Primary Health Care) have progressed within an environment of many changes for Northland nursing leadership, and continue to provide valuable input and direction for nurses in the primary healthcare sector. This direction has been evident in the development of the Te Tai Tokerau PHC Nursing Strategic plan 2010 - 2015. This landmark document has been incorporated into the current Northland Nursing Strategic plan which demonstrates the movement of the health sector and goodwill of nursing leadership to move towards the integration of the primary and secondary sectors. In 2006 NDHB appointed a full time Director of Nursing demonstrating the commitment of the organisation to support Nursing Leadership. Further commitment to this has seen the employment of the Associate Director of Nursing and Associate Director of Midwifery in 2011. Additionally NDHB has endorsed five Nurse Practitioners within Maori Providers and General Practice It is therefore timely that Northland captures this positive progress, and more importantly is now in a better space to articulate the vision and future direction of nursing in Northland.

SCOPE AND INTENT OF PLAN

With the current challenges and opportunities within the health care environment, nursing believes it is important to describe a plan for the future so that nurses themselves, clinical colleagues, managers, employers, policy makers, funders, and the public know what to expect. The basis of this plan integrates previous workforce strategies and current local, regional and national strategies to assist in articulating the direction for nursing in Northland for the next three years. The landscape of healthcare and the health status of the Northland population is constantly changing requiring nursing to respond, this plan will provide the foundation for the next 5 years. The scope of this plan incorporates nursing practice across the continuum of care and the district of Northland. The objectives and actions outlined apply to areas of practice across primary and secondary health care and the various range of settings in which nurse’s practice and in which our population access and utilise health care. This strategy has been developed by nurses, for nurses across Te Tai Tokerau, Northland. In doing so it is acknowledged that nursing practice does not occur in isolation, nurses are part

Page 3: TE TAI TOKERAU NORTHLAND NURSING STRATEGIC PLAN … Nursing... · Tai Tokerau, Northland Nursing strategic plan. ... MEASURABLE KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS MILESTONES / ACTIONS RESP

Page 3 of 19

of a wider multi-disciplinary health care team. Therefore input from our colleagues is important to ensure this plan is not only implemented but effective. Equally while this plan provides strategic oversight and priorities for nursing practice and patient care, it does not provide an exclusive and exhaustive account of nursing’s contribution to the health sector. It is anticipated that services will also identify priorities for nursing to respond and contribute to. The aforementioned TTT PHC nurses’ strategic plan has been utilised as a framework for this plan. It has been adapted to incorporate nursing practice across the continuum of care therefore priorities for specific areas of practice and specialties are noted where applicable. These areas are differentiated by coloured font, priorities for Primary Health Care are noted in purple, Secondary Care noted in green, while areas of commonality are in black. A document which captures nursing practice across a range of settings is a timely and noteworthy development acknowledging the progress that is and will continue to be made with the integration of the primary and secondary continuum. Consistent with the values of NDHB, the strategic plan expresses how these values will be imbedded in clinical practice.

STRATEGIC PLAN VISION AND MISSION The following vision and mission statements have been developed in collaboration with nurses that work across the continuum of care.

VISION STATEMENT

TE PAE MAHUTONGA

Mason Durie’s (1999) Maori health model, Te Pae Mahutonga has been utilised to frame the development and illustration of the Te Tai Tokerau Northland Nursing Strategic Plan. This framework was initially used for the Primary Health Care Nursing Strategic Plan and was agreed by PHC Nurse Leaders to be adapted for the wider Northland nursing workforce.

Te Pae Mahutonga is primarily used in health promotion and public health arenas, however the model aligns well with the aspirations of nursing in Te Tai Tokerau, notwithstanding that the tohu (symbol) of nursing is of course a star. Based on the well known celestial body the Southern Cross, Te Pae Mahutonga has four central stars with two additional stars known as the two pointers. The two pointers Nga Manukura (leadership) and Te Mana Whakahaere (autonomy/control) provide the strategic guidance. The four central starts: Mauri Ora (cultural identity), Toiora (healthy lifestyles), Waiora (protection), and Te Oranga (participation) overview the main components of the model. The table below collates Te Pae Mahutonga, the values/concepts and goals of the Te Tai Tokerau, Northland Nursing strategic plan.

Te Pae Mahutonga Strategic Priorities NDHB Values

Nga Manukura: Leadership Effective Nursing Leadership People first

Te Mana Whakahaere: autonomy/ control

Consistency Respect

Mauri Ora: cultural identity Nursing Workforce People first

Toiora: healthy lifestyles Education Communication

Waiora: physical protection Excellence in clinical practice Excellence
