Ka hari te Rāmere Whānau 😊

Today's whakataukī acknowledges our belief that collaboration is important in achieving equitable health outcomes for our patients.

We have previously co-designed with our patients, achieving successful outcomes that allowed us to reflect on our practice, identify areas for improvement, and ensure that our patients feel empowered to make informed choices about their health.

Kia ora e te whānau

Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 2025 (Māori Language Week) is being celebrated from September 14 to September 20, 2025.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the first Māori Language Week, which grew out of a movement to revitalize the language.

The theme for 2025 is “Ake ake ake – A forever language“.

To support, acknowledge and celebrate Te Reo Māori as an official language of our country, we will share with you some of our favourite whakataukī that represent our values as a practice.

He aroha whakatō, he aroha ka p**a mai - If kindness is sown, then kindness is what you shall receive.

Wishing you all a great week 😊

Earlier this year, Fifth Avenue Family Practice were nominated for 2025 General Practice of the Year and we were stoked to become a finalist in this category 🥳

Over the weekend we had staff members attend the New Zealand Primary Healthcare Awards in Auckland to celebrate the amazing effort that all of our staff put in to help achieve equitable health outcomes for our patients.

This is the perfect opportunity to acknowledge all of our staff from our reception, admin and nurse teams, to our healthcare assistants and our doctors that contribute daily to the well-being of our patients - we couldn't do this without you!
