6.30pm, 19 May 2026
Webinar
Registration
Hosted by the New Zealand Society of Anaesthetists – Ngā Ringa Tauwhiro o Aotearoa with guest speaker Ella Sargent, Director of Manawa Māori
An NZSA member exclusive webinar about bringing te reo Māori and tikanga Māori into clinical practice with confidence, and how to offer karakia in a way that lands genuinely.
The webinar will discuss:
- Why tikanga Māori integration is increasingly expected in Aotearoa healthcare. Specifically, why the anaesthetic encounter is one of the most significant places to get this right.
- What karakia is, and what it isn’t and how to deliver it to patients without it feeling tokenistic. With context specific guidance
- The meeting process as a practical clinical framework. Five phases mapped to real anaesthetic scenarios, and how to structure an encounter so everyone feels heard, decisions land with weight, and you leave having actually connected.
- Practical, low-barrier entry points with pronunciation of te reo Māori already in the clinical environment.
This webinar is free and exclusively for NZSA members. Registration is required.
