Face-to-face Wananga with Maori and Pasifika communities to raise awareness of sepsis
In addition to raising awareness of sepsis, the project aims to gather feedback to new sepsis resources, and to co-create awareness plans and content to help build resilience in response to infection and sepsis
“A kaupapa of kahohi ki te kanohi wananga, listening and learning to help us raise awareness, mitigate the impact of sepsis in vulnerable communities, co-create awareness strategies, and ultimately to save lives.”

Summary of Research
Our objective is to undertake three face-to-face wananga with Māori and Pasifika health providers to understand how we are best to collaborate and reach their communities with effective messaging.
Specifically, we want to:
Collate feedback on our resources
Socialise the new healthcare pathways (with our Māori Consumer Rep to be onsite to present)
Make improvements to our digital footprint
Understand how to collaborate with other health providers to improve outcomes
Determine the next best steps for rollout of our new resources
Co-design an action pathway
Build long term relationships to deliver real change.
The proposed wananga will help to strengthen the adoption of dedicated resources and pathways for our Māori and Pasifika communities, and the learnings will underpin the work we are doing to have the National Sepsis Action Plan adopted.
