Working with health agencies

Working with health agencies

New Zealand health agencies we work with

We work with a range of health providers and government agencies to share information and ensure we are applying best practice in all that we do.

Working together with others means we can develop and test new safety strategies in close collaboration with like-minded organisations. In the longer term, it provides us with an opportunity to positively contribute to New Zealand health sector reforms.

This helps us to continually improve the safety and quality of the patient experience in Southern Cross hospitals.
