Welcome to the June 2025 edition of Te Rerenga! This issue highlights how the Workforce Development Fund is backing local kaimahi to lead from within, including the cover story about a counsellor who is helping strengthen the mental health workforce across the Bay. We also look at how new roles in general practice are improving access and supporting more patient-centred care for whānau.
Inside, you’ll find updates from our Kai & Kōrero visits, details on new training to support non-clinical staff with cancer screening kōrero, and more stories showing how connection and collaboration continue to improve health outcomes across the rohe.
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.
