There is a shift to interdisciplinary/transdisciplinary approach, which identifies needs of whanau and the best people to provide support—requesting the right support at the right time in the right place.
The workforce shares information, works flexibly and collectively to reduce barriers and provide the support that the whanau needs and requests.
The transdisciplinary approach reduces barriers and improves access for whanau as teams walk beside people until they get what they need and are not bound by outdated service definitions, with criteria that reflects service structures rather than the needs of children and whanau.If you have a current NZ Registration (DCNZ) or in the process of obtaining registration and if you have an understanding of the Tairawhiti community and their oral health needs, I look forward to receiving your application.
