NZNO Welcomes Clinical Training Agency Board
Media Release:
Nurses Welcome Nurses on New
Clinical Training Agency Board
The New Zealand Nurses
Organisation (NZNO) is welcoming yesterday’s announcement
from the Minister of Health, that the governments newly
formed Clinical Training Agency Board will have nurses
represented on it.
The new national board has been
formed with the goal of unifying the health workforce
planning in New Zealand.
The board will consist of
seven health sector experts, including Helen Pocknall,
director of nursing at Wairarapa DHB, and Karen Roach, CEO
Northland DHB, who will bring a nursing perspective to the
group.
“Nurses are the biggest workforce within the
health sector. It is both necessary and appropriate that our
voice is included in any workforce planning and strategy
agency,” NZNO President Nano Tunnicliff said.
“A
key area which we will be expecting the board to deliver on
is funding to support and encourage people into the nursing
profession. We see this as a fundamental aspect of workforce
unification and planning,” Tunnicliff
said.
