“I am proud that our practice has evolved – it’s one of our superpowers really - our ability to be flexible and change with the times.”
“Since Covid has come through it has been all about change and responding and adapting quickly to that. I think that’s what we have done well.”
“We’ve introduced a lot more Maoritanga into our practice. Our twice weekly huddle with our waiata and karakia means we start the day in the right way.”
- Dr Hiria Nielsen Doctor/partner
“We wanted to build a primary health care facility for the 21st century a multi-disciplinary facility and we wanted to make a bit of statement.”
- Dr Fergus Aitcheson Doctor/partner
“There’s open dialogue between management and staff. We run a huddle twice a week where staff can voice any concerns and we take their worries and concerns seriously.
“We try to make it a friendly and supportive atmosphere.”
“The team has changed but the spirit is still very patient orientated and community orientated.
We’re proud to serve our community and we love the work we do.”
There has always been a tikanga here that has carried through from the very beginning.
Because we are such a big practice we are aware that it can seem impersonal so we have always gone out of our way to make patients feel welcome when they walk in here.
