Primary Health Care

Workforce Development

It is widely acknowledged that the pathway to improving population health is highly dependent on a good primary health care system[1]. In Counties Manukau one of the key barriers to achieving this vision is the lack of workforce capacity in the primary care sector. With future trends toward changing roles in the primary health sector, not only do we need more numbers of workers in primary care but significant workforce development is required to match the skill-mix desired in the future workforce.

In this section you will find information on the current projects underway to address primary health care workforce development issues in Counties Manukau.
