Sarah Jane Reweti
National Board Member
Ko Mournes te māunga, Ko Lagan te awa, Nō Lisburn, Northern Ireland ahau.
Ko Jt taku hoa pumau, nō Tūhoe ia. Ko Peyton rāua ko Elysse ā māua tamariki.
Ko Sarah-Jane Reweti toku ingoa.
I grew up in Lisburn, Northern Ireland and have over 19 years’ experience of working as a mental health nurse both in England and Aotearoa. I immigrated to Aotearoa in 2008 and soon settled down with my husband JT. We have two daughters who keep us busy!
I am currently employed as Clinical Nurse Director for Adult Mental Health Services at Te Whatu Ora Waitematā. I am passionate about leading clinical practice which incorporates mātauranga Māori, tikanga Māori and hauora Māori health models. My goal is to ensure that mental health services provide tāngata whaiora and whānau care which is of a high standard and leaves them with hope. Nationally, I have established a strong nursing network through my work as a health committee panel member for the Nursing Council and as a Technical Expert Assessor for the Ministry of Health.
Last year I completed my Master of Nursing degree and am in the process of submitting my research findings for publication in a national nursing journal.
I feel privileged to be on the Te Ao Māramatanga national board and am committed to growing our mental health nurses.
