Neurodevelopment Network - Lunch & Learn NZ Series

Implications to practice:
Le Taualuga o Tausiga (the epitome of care):
In search of Samoan cultural safety in Physiotherapy

12pm - 12.30pm  |  Tuesday 19 November, 2024  |  Hosted on Zoom

Follow up session following last months presentation by Oka Sanerivi, University of Otago.

In this session, Donna Smith will facilitate a knowledge translation session on the implications of last month’s L&L by Oka Sanerivi, PhD Candidate from the University of Otago. Oka presented his research and experience of Cultural safety in Physiotherapy (and health) service delivery.

To enhance learning and active participation in the knowledge translation session we invite you to watch the recap of last month’s session.

Three questions to think about ahead of the Knowledge Translation session, which we will collaboratively discuss are:

  1. How could the FF inform your clinical practice?
  2. What is the relevance for other health professionals?
  3. Anything you would change?
