Welcome to the April 2025 edition of Te Rerenga! This issue shines a light on WBOP PHO’s commitment to strengthening the local health workforce, with the return of CME/CNE events, de-escalation and diabetes education training, and the first-ever eCALD sessions held in Tauranga. These opportunities are helping equip our network with the tools and connections they need to thrive in an evolving health system.
We also celebrate the Tāpiri Mai initiative being recognised on the world stage, share practical insights from health coaching, and reflect on the mahi that powered our 2,253km effort to raise awareness for bowel cancer screening. From training to advocacy, this issue is packed with stories of connection, community, and care.
Te Rerenga is WBOP PHO’s bi-monthly newsletter, a platform to celebrate the incredible work of our kaimahi, general practice, iwi partners, and community services across the rohe (region). It is a space to honour successes, share best practices, and navigate the evolving currents of primary care.
