👌Successful clinic audit completed
👌Gerald joined our team and went on to complete the post-graduate hand and upper limb paper
👌Successful annual survey with great positive feedback from our patients
👌Helen became a Registered Hand Therapist, a great achievement requiring many years of academic and clinical study
👌Trisha, our new receptionist arrived last month and is already handling the front desk admin like a pro.

Here he developed his skills in hand therapy at Middlemore Hospital and Manukau Superclinic. Gerald is now back to his studies for 2025, building on his knowledge and expertise with the AUT post-grad training in hand therapy, and the experienced team at Tamaki Hands😎. Great to have you onboard Gerald 👌.
