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.

The Awardee will undertake the Whakaaweawe Impact and Transformation Grant titled Māori nurse practitioners: Kaupapa Māori workforce development realising equity.
The Māori nurse practitioner (NP) workforce can transform health outcomes for whānau Māori and local hapori (communities) by delivering comprehensive and meaningful primary healthcare services. Currently, no national framework or policy supports the development of Māori registered nurses (RNs) to become NPs, perpetuating nursing workforce inequities.
