In May, we took a moment to celebrate two vital pillars of the health system: our nurses and family doctors, with short video tributes recognising their impact across the rohe.
International Nurses Day (12 May) was an opportunity to acknowledge the care, skill, and heart that nurses bring to their work every day. Our video paid tribute to nurses working in general practices, outreach services, schools, and PHO-led programmes. It was a message of thanks for their dedication to patients, whānau, and communities.
A week later, on World Family Doctor Day (19 May), we turned our attention to the many general practitioners across the region who show up, listen, and provide trusted care through every stage of life. Especially in times of change and pressure, their contribution is essential to the well-being of our communities.
If you haven’t seen the videos yet, we invite you to watch them below and share them with the special nurses and doctors in your life. Though created for specific days, their messages are timeless.
