Emily Adcock
Community Health Worker
I became a volunteer and committee member at WHIC in 2005. During 2008 I began doing some relief health work, then in May 2009 I became one of two part-time health workers. I have been involved in many discussion panels in Christchurch (looking at various health issues and how information is provided) as a consumer representative. Over the years I have been part of the Homebirth Association, a member of the Professional External Advisory Committee (PEAC) overseeing the Bachelor of Midwifery at CPIT. I have also worked for the College of Midwifery as a Standards Reviewer.
