Synopsis

Breaking out: Oh, the places we’ll go!

Our NZ Health Strategy suggests “we’re off to great places ... today is our day”. It asks us to undertake things in a different, innovative and connected way – to change our “system” and turn it outside-in.

What if we didn’t know this was difficult and complex, and set off on the journey with our heart and soul? At Plunket, we’ve done just that – set off on a trip which includes multiple layers of change, can’t be done without our funders, partners, and fellow-providers to families and aims to make more difference for our new New Zealanders and their families. How do you modernise a 110 year old organisation without losing its soul? Join the conversation..
