About Toi Te Ora - Public Health Service
Toi Te Ora works innovatively and professionally to promote, protect and improve the health of people in its communities. It is a service of the Bay of Plenty District Health Board – Hauora a Toi - whose funding comes from the Ministry of Health. Toi Te Ora works with all people in the greater Bay of Plenty and Lakes District from Waihi Beach in the west, to Cape Runaway in the east and Turangi in the south.
‘Toi Te Ora’ suggests the idea of enduring well being. ‘Toi’ is the name of a celebrated ancestor in the Eastern Bay of Plenty, and ‘Ora’ is to be alive, well and healthy.
To Te Ora's vision is to have healthy thriving communities - Kia Momoho Te Hapori Oranga, and its mission is to enable communities to achieve good health and independence and ensure access to high quality services. See Toi Te Ora's website for further information.
Public health workforce development: Toi Te Ora - Public Health Service
Toi Te Ora have now finalised its service wide Workforce Development Plan and have kindly provided the plan as a sample for other organisations to peruse. The plan uses the Te Uru Kahikatea framework as its structure. Key responsibilities for implementing the actions in the plan will be assigned across the Toi Te Ora staff in the coming months.
They are however already making steady progress towards the outcomes in the plan, which is fantastic.
You can use the TUK Framework for your organisation's workforce development by using the Workforce Development Plan Template for organisations.
