📣 Upcoming Webinar: Standing Orders via Health Pathways & Online Education!
We’re excited to support the rollout of Standing Orders across Te Waipounamu, with Southern now joining the pathway. This webinar offers South Island teams practical, immediate value, walking through how to access Standing Orders via Health Pathways, how the framework works, and what’s required across auditing, education, and review.

For our North Island colleagues, this is a chance to get ahead of the curve. A national rollout is the vision, and early adopters are warmly encouraged to join the conversation.

Featuring Dr Jill Clendon and Amber Venning‑Slater, this session includes a live Q&A and real‑world guidance you can take straight back to your workplace.

Last week’s visits to Dannevirke practices, Tararua Health Group and Dannevirke Family Health reminded us that small towns can deliver a big impact. 🌱✨

In rural communities, the blend of acute and preventative care is where real change happens, and it was inspiring to see local teams evolving their models of care to truly meet the needs of their people.

Proud to walk alongside communities shaping care their way. Thank you to the team at THINK Hauora for connecting us.
