CRiHHI Critical Inquiry Series
Health systems in Western nations are focused increasingly on system improvements driven more by a concern for economic efficiencies than for equitable population health outcomes. Even with current policy interest in person-centred health care, the reality is that accessible, appropriate primary health care remains elusive for many low-income families, indigenous peoples and other high needs groups in New Zealand and elsewhere.
This session will draw on three studies on primary health care in the New Zealand setting; a national study on implementing community participation and two smaller studies aimed at improving general practice reception processes. I argue that a greater policy emphasis on people-oriented primary health care is critical if the needs of groups experiencing health inequities are to be met.

CRiHHI Critical Inquiry Series
A longstanding interest in the healthy character of green spaces in cities is being complemented by a focus on blue space and health. This emphasis builds on notions of therapeutic landscape and is opening up a range of research possibilities both from within and beyond health geography through examining the potent influence of water and sky on human wellbeing.
In this session, examples are drawn from research on two of Auckland’s offshore islands: a study of older people’s experience of healthy ageing in place; and the transformation of an a former alcohol detoxification centre into a recreational destination. In each, I examine the affective aspects of water and sky and note that therapeutic encounters are always contingent, relational and uncertain.
