The decisions on how to run your practice and the products you choose to use do matter. Individually and cumulatively choices can make a positive difference to the environment – as well as to the health of patients and communities. We are pleased to promote and share this toolkit, developed by The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners.

We believe we can continue to offer you great learning opportunities and practical HR solutions that are relevant to your practice needs.

Pinnacle is excited to be supporting the uptake of this online course and the valuable contribution the PCA/MCA role is making as part of the extended general practice team, in the care of their patients and whānau.
This webinar series is for Pinnacle practice nurses new to practice nursing. The series covers some of the services and functions of Pinnacle Midlands Health Network; core aspects of the practice nurse role and other multi-disciplinary roles connected to general practice.
Mentoring is a great tool to support new practice managers, especially those new to healthcare, as they find their feet. We've identified existing mentoring programmes that may be accessible to practice managers, with a focus on structured, one-on-one mentorship models.
We have three full-time and two part-time staff in the nurse lead space across the Pinnacle network. They work as a team to support over 450 nurses (Waikato, Lakes, Taranaki, Tairāwhiti) with a key focus on growing and supporting our nursing kaimahi (staff).
Pinnacle’s Regional Rural Advisory Group (RRAG) brings the voice of rural teams, GPs, nurse practitioners into the governance of resources specifically provided to help address the needs of our rural communities.
From support with new role implementation such as primary care assistants (PCAs) to mapping and redesign of current processes such as repeat prescribing processes, your local Pinnacle development manager can support your changing practice needs.
By developing new roles, we are able to re-allocate tasks that might otherwise be done by GPs and nursing staff. This can help patients to receive care in a timely fashion, from the right person first, while freeing up time for clinical staff to do what they’ve been trained for.
