The Goodfellow Foundation's support for the Goodfellow Unit
stems from a relationship formed between the Goodfellow family and
the University in 1978. The Goodfellow Unit was initially
funded by Mr Douglas Goodfellow to support general practice and to
commemorate the life of his father, Sir William Goodfellow.
The Goodfellow Unit assists health professionals gain new
knowledge and skills to improve health outcomes. Catering for a
diverse range of health professionals we offer:
- innovative and engaging interactive learning
- access to case studies, quizzes and other resources
- resources for doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, pharmacists,
audiologists and others
- content developed and updated by relevant
practitioners
What we do
We facilitate multi disciplinary learning
Health professionals working in primary health
care participate in shared learning experiences, e.g., combined
moderated discussion forums for doctors, nurses and
pharmacists.
We supply dedicated resources
- Doctors can update knowledge in numerous specialist areas,
e.g., lower back pain, diabetes, palliative care, etc.
- Audiologists can complete evidence-based cases for adults and
children with hearing loss
We work in collaborative partnerships for
example with
- CMP Medica - quality patient information
- The Division of Rehabilitation and Occupational Studies,
Auckland University of Technology - physiotherapy case
studies
- The Audiology Department, University of Auckland – case
scenarios and resources for audiologists
