Ngā Manukura

Ngā Manukura is a Clinical Leadership programme for Māori Nurses and Midwives.

To date, thirty-four cohorts are either in progress or have completed the Clinical Leadership Programme.

Purpose
The programme aims to:

• Increase participants' understanding of a broad number of 'cutting edge' leadership issues;

• Provide a safe, but challenging, environment for participants to explore issues related to leadership in Māori nursing and midwifery; and,

• Build and strengthen participants' networks across the country by fostering support and strategy sharing.

Description
The 8-day Clinical Leadership Training Programme consists of four 2-day wānanga spread over a 4-month period. 

The programme sessions are designed to stimulate learning, discussion, debate and action.

Key themes to be explored in the programme include:

• Leading a change management project to completion;

• Tools and strategies for Māori leaders;

• Leading to make a difference;

• Living by design; and,

• Current issues for Māori leaders.
