Did you know your local east Auckland general practice health team now includes more than just your GP?
Across our East Health Trust network of clinics, new healthcare roles have been introduced to make it easier for you to get the right care at the right time.
These include Integrated Care Co-ordinator Nurses, Extended Care Paramedics, Health Improvement Practitioners, Health Coaches, and Clinical Pharmacists.
This team-based approach means your care is shared and coordinated across highly trained professionals who work together – and with you.
Whether you need support with mental well-being, managing medications, staying active, or navigating long-term health conditions, there’s someone on the team who can help.
These changes mean shorter wait times, more specialised support, and a better understanding of your needs.
For example, you might meet with a Clinical Pharmacist to review medications, or a Health Coach to set achievable health goals – all within your local clinic.
We’re proud to bring this modern model of care to east Auckland.
So next time you visit your general practice, remember, it’s not just about seeing the GP – it’s about connecting with a whole team, all focused on your health and well-being.
Talk to your GP clinic for more information.
In the meantime, stay tuned for your next local health update by East Health Trust featured right here at the Eastern Times.
