A joint post graduate programme between Waitemata DHB and Massey University is bearing fruit with the recent recruitment of more than a dozen mental health professionals.
Thirteen of 14 nurses who completed the Massey University Post Graduate Certificate in Nursing Practice (Mental Health) are now working in various services and units throughout Waitemata DHB.
The DHB says at a time of staffing shortages throughout New Zealands mental health sector, the recruitments are a major success.
