Applications are now open for the Tapuhi Kaitiaki Awards for Māori nurses and close 4:30pm on 5 July 2024.
Awards are offered in two categories
Category One - Nurse Practitioner or Nurse Prescribing Award
This award acknowledges nurses who are on a professional development journey to become a nurse prescriber and supports them to advance their clinical practice and expertise.
Category Two - Māori Nurse Mātauranga Award
These awards are open to nurses (enrolled and registered) and tauira who wish to further their study and/or would like to develop an innovative way to assist whānau, hapū and iwi to access and understand their medicines.
About the awards
The annual Tapuhi Kaitiaki Awards for Māori nurses are organised by Pharmac in partnership with Te Poari o Te Rūnanga o Aotearoa (New Zealand Nurses Organisation), to recognise the positive impact of Māori nurses as key influencers on health outcomes.
These awards support Māori nurses to continue their studies and develop their clinical practice. Each year the Tapuhi Kaitiaki recipients are announced at the Indigenous Nurses Conference.
