Kōrero Mai – how to speak up when you are concerned about your, or a loved one's, care.

Kōrero Mai helps you to have a voice when you are concerned about your, or a loved one's, care.

We know that sometimes it can be difficult to talk about your concerns with your healthcare team.  Kōrero Mai is a way for you to speak to us when you are worried about a change in your condition, or that of a loved one.

We will listen to you so that we can respond as quickly and effectively as we can.
