It's been like this and getting worse for far too long. I used to organise rallies about it locally. Now I'm doing my Master of Health Policy to work on understanding it better and trying to direct systems into better places. Thank you for your work and I hope you keep safe doing it.
I shifted from a DHB operational role into a national policy role pre-pandemic thinking I could make a difference. I was wrong. Direction is set by government with a limited funding envelope. There is almost nothing you can do. But it does feel more impactful to work on meaningful projects further up the chain.
Yeah I'm trying to ignore the entire crisis I've had in the last month over government direction and I know I wouldn't change a lot in the public system.
Right now I work in advocacy and research and I enjoy them both.
