Te Paatu o Te Ao Hurihuri - pandemic-related virtual adaptation of an established marae-based workshop for rural doctors: a qualitative study
Discussion In the event of a further pandemic or other emergency situation, where strong established relationships exist, replacing an in-person remote marae-based workshop with a virtual workshop, while limited, is achievable and has value. When urban tertiary institutions partner with remote Māori communities to deliver virtual teaching, caution is needed in ensuring sustained transparency in priorities and expectations to avoid further exacerbations of power imbalance and resulting loss of value.PMID:38112704 | DOI:10.1071/HC23089 (Source: Journal of Primary Health Care)

New Zealand pharmacists' views regarding the current prescribing courses: questionnaire survey
Discussion Pharmacist prescribing in New Zealand is still in its growing phase. Optimising uptake of prescribing courses and role requires a multi-level approach including all stakeholders. Government/policymakers should consider pharmacist prescribing training and remuneration in their funding plans. Employing institutions should provide required time and human resources (staff backfills). Training providers should consider methods of course delivery and assessment that are suitable for trainees in full-time employment.PMID:38112706 | DOI:10.1071/HC23021 (Source: Journal of Primary Health Care)

Rural general practice and ethical issues. A rapid review of the literature
Discussion The majority of ethical issues arose from managing overlapping relationships. However, these overlapping relationships and roles are considered normal in rural settings. A tension is created between adhering to urban normative ethical guidelines and the reality of living in a rural environment. Professional ethical guidelines, such as those developed by the New Zealand Medical Council, do not account for this rural lived reality. Rural practitioners in New Zealand should be engaged with to progress a specific rural ethics agenda.PMID:38112707 | DOI:10.1071/HC23069 (Source: Journal of Primary Health Care)
