Ko Josephine Davis tōku ingoa

 

I am proud to be a Registered Nurse (RN), and Nurse Practitioner (NP) registered in Aotearoa New Zealand.  My work experience has been across the health sector, and I have held senior nurse roles in secondary, community, rural and primary care settings.  I have been the director of nursing across the Whangarei/Kaipara region with Manaia PHO, and moved to a director of nursing role for the whole of Tai Tokerau with Mahitahi Hauora PHE. 

My work in that last four years has had a focus on the development of the advanced nursing workforce including NPs and designated RN prescribers. Of particular interest is the advancement of the Māori nursing workforce, giving visibility and articulation to the importance of culturally approproate care and service provision for health outcomes and supporting the wholesale development of a culturally safe nursing workforce.
