Innovation and Resourcefulness
For New Zealanders the West Coast Te Tai Poutini holds a special place in the heart Its the place where youll still find the rugged individual and open and friendly communities that our national literature celebrates home to the twin treasures of Pounamu and Gold to New Zealands treasure trove of conservation values and staggering landscapes and New Zealands true adventure and outdoor capital
Stretched out along a thin strip of flat land between the mighty Southern Alps and the Tasman Sea the West Coast is New Zealands most sparsely populated isolated and most rural district creating special challenges for the provision of health services
Relative to most parts of New Zealand West Coasters experience socioeconomic disadvantage but a richness of community and environment In recent years the economy and population have been growing and both health status and life expectancy have been improving The inequality of health status between Mamp257ori and nonMamp257ori is smaller on the West Coast than anywhere else in New Zealand but the West Coast DHB is still committed to closing this gap and has an important Treatybased relationship with Tangata Whenua to achieve this
The West Coast District Health Board is rising to these challenges setting out to be New Zealands Centre of Excellence for rural health services We want to be the best at what we do and to deliver to the people of the West Coast the very best quality services possible with the resources we have
Right now the West Coast DHB is collaborating with the Ministry of Health to develop a standard for models of care in New Zealand rural areas and funding to enable the West Coast DHB to provide this The project also incorporates new facilities in most locations from which services are provided on the Coast
To do all this we need to be innovative resourceful and to just get on and do it all in fact West Coast traditions We need people with skills ideas and initiative and we offer you hard work personal fulfillment and paradise
If youre thinking about a health service career where you can really make a difference the West Coast is for you Talk to us today
