Supporting GP registrars through Hauora Māori learning

Last Updated: 13 April 2026

In March, first-year GP registrars from across Aotearoa gathered at Ngā Hau e Whā Marae for a two-day Hauora Māori noho aimed at strengthening their understanding of hauora Māori and the role of primary care in improving health equity. 

The noho opened with a pōwhiri and brought registrars into a learning environment grounded in tikanga, whakawhanaungatanga, and respect. Over two days, the programme combined mātauranga Māori, clinical practice, and discussion about the experiences and aspirations of whānau and communities. 

Mana whenua shared local iwi aspirations for hauora and discussed the importance of iwi-led approaches, giving registrars an opportunity to connect their training with the priorities and realities of Māori communities. 

The programme also introduced registrars to key frameworks including Te Whare Tapa Whā, Te Pae Mahutonga, the Meihana Model, and cultural safety in practice. Small-group discussions focused on equity, bias, and the importance of building effective relationships with Māori patients and communities. 

Supporting opportunities such as the noho is part of Pegasus Health’s broader focus on workforce development and strengthening general practice for the future. These initiatives are an important part of preparing trainee GPs for work in communities where culturally responsive care and an understanding of Te Tiriti o Waitangi are essential to practice. 

Michaela Kamo, Kaiwhakahaere Hauora Māori and Director Māori Health, who attended the first morning of the noho, said the engagement from registrars stood out. 

“I had the privilege of spending the first morning with the rōpū, and it was encouraging to see such openness, curiosity, and commitment to learning,” she said. “The energy reflected a genuine desire to provide care that is responsive, respectful, and grounded in equity.” 

Pegasus Health is working with partners to support the development of trainee GPs and strengthen a primary care workforce that can respond to the needs of the communities it serves.
